kachumbar raita

Indian meals are often accompanied by Raita, a yoghurt-based side dish that is healthy and delicious. This version is made with kachumbar, a quintessential North Indian salad containing chopped cucumber, tomato, onion and cilantro. One of our favorite raitas, it is a perfect accompaniment to dishes made with Masala Mama’s TIKKA MASALA and VINDALOO Sauce!

1 pinch salt
1 pinch roasted ground cumin seeds
