Making Onion Tomato Raita

Notes
- If you want a slightly spicy raita, add more of the chopped green chilies or red chili powder or cayenne. But do not make the raita very spicy as raitas are generally mild and meant to accompany robust and spicy food.
- Feel free to opt for any of the raita recipe depending on the ingredients you have.
- Roasted ground cumin gives a nice nutty aroma and flavor to the raita. To make it, roast a few tablespoons or about ⅓ to ½ cup of cumin seeds in a small frying pan or skillet on a low heat until fragrant. Set aside to cool. Later grind them in a spice-grinder or mixer-grinder to a fine texture. Store in an air-tight jar in a cool dry place.
- If you do not have roasted cumin powder, you can swap it with the regular cumin powder (ground cumin).
- You can use mint leaves or coriander leaves (cilantro) for this raita. You can also choose to add fresh parsley instead of cilantro or mint.
- Note that the approximate nutrition info is for 1 serving of onion raita only.
