Mixed Raita

I had this great raita on this recent trip to India, I think my seasonings are a little stronger than the version I tried but the sweet, cool and tart flavors work well together and would compliment any rice or bread.

Ingredients

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup yogurt

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp black salt

1/2 tsp chilly powder

1/2 cup chopped pineapple

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 tomato diced

1 cucumber peeled and diced

2 tsp mint chopped

1 tsp oil

1/4 tsp mustard seeds

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/8 tsp asafateotida

Method of Preparation

1. Wisk together the sour cream, yogur, sugar, salt and chilly powder.

2. Mix in the chopped vegetables, fruit and mint.

3. Heat the oil, add the mustard seeds, when these crackle add in the cumin and hing.

4. Mix with the raita, cover and let the spices infuse for 5 minutes before serving.
