Roasted Tomato Capsicum Raita

By Harini
I often prepare one pot meals.These kind of preparations are best suited for summer as we don't need to slog near the stove bearing the heat. What else can be a best side dish for one pot rice dishes other than raita :) I often play with ingredients and try to change the combination of ingredients and see what we like best.This roasted bell pepper and tomato raita was one of my recent trial which was a big hit.Roasting the tomatoes and bell pepper until a bit charred brings out a lovely smoky flavor and taste and goes very well with any kind of mild flavored rice. I served this with my no oinon-garlic pulav and the whole meal was just awesome
