Author Notes
Celery is such an underestimated veggie. Many of us do not know how should be incorporate it in our daily food or diet. With such nutritional qualities we should try to often use it in our regular diet. With the aim of using some nutritional things I feel this Raita really brings out the flavor and texture of celery . Hope you all enjoy as much as we love it.
For variation, you can use any veggies like green, red and yellow bell pepper, then shredded carrots, or corn. —Devangi Raval
