Raita
This is designed to soothe your mouth between forkfuls of spicy curry; dairy is a much more effective antidote to chilli heat than a cold drink. It's very quick and simple to make and can be embellished with any fresh herbs you like - coriander works especially well.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp mustard seeds
- 300ml thick yoghurt
- ½ cucumber, peeled and chopped
