We always look for accompaniments for the main dishes and they are always an added attraction to our main dish.Raitas are good sidedishes for any rice variety and when i made coriander rice last week i also made this capsicum tomato raita.The crunchiness of fried capsicum was well complimented with freshly chopped tomatoes.It is a very quick recipe and can be made by bachelors as well.I am posting this as my first bachelor recipe,so that it will be an easy side dish option for them.Do use fresh and unsour thick curd for better results.See recipe below..
