While this cooling yogurt sauce recipe is welcome alongside spicy foods, it is also amazing slathered on flatbreads or spooned over basmati rice. This recipe is fromGunpowder, an Indian restaurant in London.
Ingredients
3 cups
Step 1
Toast cumin seeds in a dry small saucepan over medium heat, shaking pan often, until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Transfer to a plate and let cool. Coarsely grind in a spice mill or coarsely chop with a chef’s knife; set aside for serving.
Step 2
Heat oil and mustard seeds in a small skillet over medium until seeds begin to pop, about 1 minute. Let cool.
Step 3
Grate cucumbers on the medium holes of a box grater; squeeze out excess liquid with your hands and transfer to a medium bowl. Mix in yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and 1/3 cup cilantro; season with salt.
Step 4
To serve, drizzle raita with mustard oil, sprinkle with chili powder and reserved cumin, and top with cilantro sprigs.

Back to TopThis raita is thick and creamy and lovely, but it could use some crushed MINT to freshen it up. I would make again, but add fresh mint.
