Raitas are yogurt salads, which are served with Indian meals as a cooling balance to the other
spicier dishes. They can be made using many vegetable combinations, but this is my favorite.
Ingredients:
2 cups plain whole yogurt
2 medium tomatoes in small cubes (1/2 inch)
1/2 English cucumber peeled and chopped in small cubes
2 green onions finely chopped
1 tsp lemon or lime juice
2 tsp Delhi Chat Masala
salt to taste
8 sprigs coriander (chop 6 and reserve 2 for garnish)
Method:
Put lemon, salt and Chat Masala in a bowl and toss the vegetables until coated. Pour in the yogurt and stir together.
Top with cilantro sprigs and serve. This raita is also delicious substituting our
Punjabi Garam Masala for the Chat Masala.
4 - 6 servings.
