Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 1 tomato chopped
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 carrot chopped
  • 1 cucumber chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon cilantro chopped
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the yogurt and add finely chopped veggies.
  • Season with salt and roasted cumin powder.
  • Mix everything well.
  • Taste and add salt if needed.

Notes

  • I chose to finely chop the veggies, but you can grate them instead if you want to enjoy a different texture.
  • Experiment with different spice powders like chaat masala or chili powder into the raita to lend it a bit of extra flavor. Sometimes, I like to add my homemade peri peri seasoning when I want it to have a bit of a spicy kick. 
  • To make the raita have a more creamy texture, transfer the yogurt to a muslin cloth and leave it hanging to drain away the whey for about an hour or so. Then, use the thicker semi-solid yogurt for the recipe. 
  • Start with chilled, refrigerated yogurt for best results.
