      We make this probably every other week since we saw it. It is amazing! It is a favorite of our teenage sons.
      We use 2 cauliflower heads, 2 blocks of our local Maine tofu pressed, and triple the spices from the original. We also use ground up oats (in the blender) instead of bread crumbs.
      Absolutely delicious, thank you so much!

      This was amazing and I will definitely make it again! I added a little more lemon juice and both garam masala (1//4tsp) and curry powder (1 tsp), but then I was using a large head of cauliflower (not med.)

      I just made this and let me tell you these were absolutely delish. I am a cauliflower fan and this was a different recipe which just got me going on it. The only thing I did different was added tofu to it. The combo was just perfect. I complimented with chimichurri on all wheat tortilla and the flavors just burst in my mouth.
      Took images.

      Thank you for this recipe.

      This looks amazing!! Thank you so much, Richa, for another great recipe idea.
      A nice way to have something like raita but keeping it vegan is to use coconut cream. I buy coconut milk in a can and put the can in the fridge overnight. When I’m ready to use it, I very slowly turn the can upside down then open with the can opener. It will have separated and the water will be on top and easy to drain (keep aside for other dishes). What’s left is a beautiful thick cream that is the same consistency you are looking for in raita and the bonus is that it is sweet and coconutty♥

        thats a good idea with coconut cream. It adds some coconut flavor. I use non-dairy yogurt (almond milk yogrt works best for neutral flavor) that tastes almost exactly the same as dairy yogurt to make a fabulous raita that I have served to non-vegan people who had a hard time believing it wasnt dairy.

          Hi Richa. Fairy new vegan here and your blog has become my go-to! Hey what brand of non-dairy unsweetened yogurt you recommend? Curd/Yogurt is my biggest struggle in my Vegan journey so far. I’m looking for something that can be close in taste to our desi dahi 🙂 Thank You for all that you do!

            i use kite hill plain almond milk yogurt. its the closest to dairy yogurt for savory recipes. I am not surer if you get kite hill where you are. You can make your own yogurt, its just like making dairy yogurt.I like almond cashew milk yogurt best when homemade (blend some cashews into almond milk). Heat the milk to just about boil. Let it cool to warm, add yogurt culture(any non dairy yogurt, or add some probiotic powder). Let it sit to set. See the detailed recipe in my first book
