Instructions

Smooth Pureed Raita -

Set out a large food processor. Combine the yogurt, fresh produce, and spices to the food processor. Purée until very smooth.
Then open the lid and slowly drizzle olive oil into the Raita to emulsify and create a silkier texture.
Once smooth, turn off the food processor. Chill until ready to serve.

For Chunky Raita -

Set out a medium mixing bowl. Combine the yogurt, lime juice, salt, and ground cumin. Mix with a spoon.
Then stir in finely diced cucumber, onion, and cilantro. Add oil or sugar if desired. (For chunky raita, you may want to add an extra, ¼ cup of yogurt.)
Chill until ready to serve.

Notes

Store the yogurt sauce in a sealed container and keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
