FOOD: COOL IT WITH RAITA

Aug 26 2007 Michael Kilkie

If you find any curry too hot, try serving a raita with it to help cool yourself down. Raitas can be made with various veg added to natural yoghurt. To make a simple one, add 200ml of natural yoghurt to 50ml of water, 1/4 of an onion finely chopped, 1/2tsp salt, 1/4 of a cucumber finely chopped, 1tsp mint sauce and blitz in a food processor. Top with finely shredded fresh mint.
