A very special refreshing little side dish

Most Indian meals are incomplete with the cooling element of yoghurt. You can just have plain yoghurt or create something more extravagant. There are so many different types of raita dishes and you can flavour yoghurt with pretty much anything. Some of the more usual ones are made with mint, cucumber or spices such as cumin seeds.

    This is a delayed review. I made this raita a few months ago for friends alongside a few of your other recipes. All were brilliant, but this raita flavour combination is superb. It's so good that I had to write a review - the first ever for a recipe. Thank you!
