Often served as an accompaniment to papad as a starter in Indian restaurants, it is traditionally served as a refreshing side dish. Delish relish!
Ingredients
Cucumbers (finely diced, or grated)
Yoghurt
Mint
Salt
Tiny bit of sugar
Ground (or whole) cumin
Ground coriander seeds
Method
Once again, a simple case of tossing all the ingredients together, in proportions according to taste.
The possible variations on this recipe are near endless (as demonstrated by this wiki article, for those of you who are interested in the origins and etymology of 'raita'), but one of my favorites is to add some very finely diced red onion. Another brilliant one suggested by one of my mother's friends is to add roughly chopped roasted peanuts.
What alterations on this recipe have worked for you? As always, we'd love to hear from you!
