Just made this tonight...delicious and refreshing!

Misplaced my old recipe and so was excited to find this one, which is very similar (and what gorgeous photography! Absolutely delicious. Signed up for the newsletter because I really love the vegetarian-focused global flavours here. So much looks delicious!

Exactly the flavour I was looking for, it's delicious!

Sylvia.  Sorry for all the comments, but I can't figure out how your site works. 
Thank you for the feedback on the photo and flowers.  The raita in the photograph looks absolutely delicious.  A sigh for the senses as well as the palate.

Very nice and MUCH better than the plain yoghurt we had been eating as I experimented with various chicken curry recipes.  I liked the touch of mint.  Definitely will make this again.

I made this with coconut yogurt as I don’t eat do dairy. I used Cocojune , it’s the best brand I’ve tried by far. It has a nice creamy consistency. I also added a pinch of marash pepper for a subtle heat.

Is there a substitute  for clilantro? Or is it a must?

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Totally hit the spot!

Loved this! Lots of flavor and went great with my homemade naan.

I followed your Raita recipe and was very happy with the results.
