Adam Liaw’s raita and chips

October 29, 2026

Raita is often considered to be a cooling condiment that’s eaten with a curry, but it’s a great side dish in its own right. Serve it with potato chips for a bit of crunch.

Ingredients

• 1½ cups thick yoghurt

• ½ Lebanese cucumber, peeled, quartered lengthways and thinly sliced

• ¼ red onion, peeled and diced

• ½ tomato, deseeded and diced

• ¼ cup roughly chopped coriander leaves

• salt and black pepper, to season

• 1 packet thin salted potato chips

Method

1. Step 1

   Combine the yoghurt, cucumber, onion, tomato and coriander and season well with salt and pepper.

2. Step 2

   Serve with the potato chips.

Adam’s tip: Raita is commonly served with biryani and pilaf dishes to balance the texture of the rice. You can add a sprinkle of cumin or chilli powder for a bit of extra interest.
