That would be like bringing pickle relish, in a manner of speaking, 
into the midst of an Indian feast for a home-sick North American, but 
without any other dishes to eat it with...

Raitas are relishes and eaten with other dishes. They are not 
stand-alone dishes. If you bring a raita, then there need to be other 
dishes into which it can be mixed.
