Raita - yoghurt based sauce

Raita is a yoghurt based sauce which is great accompaniment to biriyanis, pulavs, aloo parathas, basically anything  that is spicy.
The sauce can be made with a number of different ingredients. Here I am using onions and carrots but you can also use any other vegetables like cucumber, beet, jalapeños etc.
