PRO TIPS

3 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Use chilled yogurt directly from the fridge for the most refreshing temperature.
2
Dry roast whole cumin seeds and crush them manually for a significantly bolder aroma than pre-ground powder.
3
If the raita is too thick, add a tablespoon of chilled water or milk to reach your desired consistency.
