Matar Raitha/peas salad
When i was a kid my mom used to make special yoghurt dressing salad with cucumber ,tomato and onion and me and my brothers used to enjoy it a lot.Somehow home made salad dressing just tastes better to me.What i like is the rich creamy tangy yoghurt dressing and the nice flavour of fried garlic with a hint of sweetness which comes from the fresh green peas that i have used as a main ingredient.All together its yummy ,tangy and creamy yoghurt dip which goes well with almost anything....
