Red Pumpkin Raita

Red Pumpkin Raita is a simple side dish. Red pumpkin has a bit sweet taste. Still I have added sugar as in our family we like this raita little bit on a sweeter side. Roasted unsalted peanut powder gives a nutty taste. Plain yogurt balances the raita. This raita has sweet, spicy, nutty taste. This raita can be served with Chapati/Dal-Rice.
