Raitas combine fruits or vegetables with yogurt to provide cooling accompaniments to spicy dishes. In the vegetarian households that traditionally serve raita, it has a double function — it acts as a refresher and a digestive at the same time.

i made this last night to rave reviews! i used the 6 1/2 % mf balkan yogurt... when i first made it i thought it was only ok, thought it was missing something... but i let it sit in the fridge for about 2 1/2 hrs, and it came out beautifully! my 2 yr old and 4 yr old loved it too (and they didn't even try to pick out the vegetables).

I just finished making this and it tastes divine. I added a bit of salt at the end but apart from that I stuck to what was listed. Really lovely. Thanks for sharing this with us. Natasha

Great Raita!!! I loved all the chunks of veggies and the mint! I used these to cool down some fabulous samosas and between the two I had a 5 star meal worthy of 6 stars!!! Great Recipe!

This is definitely a new taste for me-but a very good side with spicy food. I also used cumin powder as did the previous reviewer, since I could not find the seeds. I thought it worked well. The main flavor was mint, which makes this very cool and refreshing. Thanks!
