Notes
- There are a few different types of raita and some things you can add to make it your own! This recipe is a cucumber raita but there is also pineapple raita, boondi raita (a chickpea raita), and mint raita.
- To our raita you can add bell peppers, cashews, cumin powder, mint leaves, chili powder, salt, pepper, mustard seeds, mango, and curry leaves.
- To make raita vegan, you can use a plant based yogurt instead of whole milk yogurt.
