Yogurt Tahini Raita [HMC]

Part of the fun of cooking is using words that taste good as they come off the tongue. "Tahini" and "raita" fit the bill, but here's the secret: they're nothing fancy, just delicious. Tahini is a ground sesame seed paste used in Middle Eastern cooking, while raita is a yogurt-based sauce that contains tons of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory rich herbs and spices. The yogurt is full of probiotics, which promotes good gut and brain health.
