This vegan raita is a must on your dinner table if you are an Indian food lover. Raita is a cooling yoghurt side dish / condiment made with cucumber, red onions, cumin and garam masala powder and fresh mint and coriander. It is a great accompaniment to any curry or other favourite spicy dishes of yours and it also pairs well with falafel and Middle Eastern recipes.

It's bursting with fresh ingredients and flavour and I cannot imagine a proper Indian feast without it!
