When it comes to weight loss, diet plays a huge role. Getting in shape doesn't come easy and just exercise is not going to help one shed those extra pounds. But losing weight can be a tad bit easier by consuming homemade raita which is basically a lot of vegetables, cumin seeds, black salt, chili powder, salt and more mixed in curd or yogurt.
