Raita - Yogurt Dip

Raita is a quick and easy Indian condiment. It can be used as a dipping sauce or a side for any spicy rice or bread.

It's one of those recipes that you can throw it many different ingredients, and they all will make an equally yummy version of the "raita". Here's my version from a Sunday lunch that I used as a side for "vegetable pulav"



Ingredients:
1/2 Peeled Cucumber
5-6 Grape tomatoes
1/2 Onion
Handful of Cilantro
Creamy Yogurt - 1 C
Mint Buttermilk (optional)
Sour Cream (optional)
Cumin Powder (optional)
Chaat Masala - 1 tsp (optional)
Black pepper - to taste
Salt - to taste


Directions:
Chop all the vegetables you want to use uniformly. Stir in the yogurt, and a dollop of sour cream, and mix in the remaining ingredients. A splash of the mint flavored buttermilk will give it great fragrance and flavor.
