Method

Grate and chop

Wash the Cucumber, peel it, and grate it finely. Finely chop the Green Chili and the fresh Coriander so the raita mixes evenly.

Mix the raita

In a mixing bowl, whisk the chilled Plain Full-Fat Yogurt until smooth and creamy. Stir in the grated cucumber, Roasted Cumin Powder, Fine Salt, Black Salt (kala namak), the chopped green chili, and the chopped coriander. Mix until everything is evenly distributed, then taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
