About:
Raita is seasoned yogurt often served as a mouth-cooler when eating spicy Indian dishes. It also works as a healthy dip for vegetables and pita bread and is good as a side dish. This recipe is inspired by Tzatziki.
Here in this yogurt dip I used chives, mint, thyme and coriander instead of cucumber, tomatoes in raita.

- Roasted cumin powder: 1/2tsp
- Ground black pepper: To taste
Procedure:
- Whisk yogurt, black salt, cumin powder in a bowl.
- Stir in herbs – mint, coriander, thyme and chives.
- Season with ground black pepper.

This is a real Mediterranean style recipe. I love bulgur and one of my favorite salads is tabouleh. The raita is a delicious accompaniment.
