Notes
- Adjust the amount of water depending upon the thickness of your yogurt and the raita consistency you prefer. I have used thick yogurt and I don't like very runny raita so used this ratio.
- Chop the green chili pepper very finely. It should just give a tiny kick in every bite and not burn your tongue.
- You can also add other seasonings like chaat masala, dried mint powder, or fresh mint.
- This raita can be served as a side dish with any Indian or Middle Eastern meal. You can also drizzle it over your appetizers or serve on the side as a dip.
