This Indian condiment tempers the heat of curries and spicy snacks with its blend of yoghurt, cucumber and mint. I add apple to mine for extra crunch and sweetness, and I chop everything roughly so that it's more of a scoopy sauce than a dippy one. Uh-huh, scoopy sauce is a real culinary term. Shush.
Apple Raita (makes one giant bowlful)
Preparation time: 5 minutes
You will need:
- ½ a cucumber, peeled and roughly diced
- 1 large red apple, peeled, cored and roughly diced
- 1 spring onion, sliced
- 1 small green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped (optional)
- 500g natural yoghurt
- A large handful of fresh mint, roughly chopped
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- Salt and pepper to taste
Make it!
I used to get food from an Indian takeaway in Sydney - they did a fantastic apple and sour cream raita which was the best thing ever with pork vindaloo.
