CHUNKY RAITA
Mix together
16 oz plain yogurt plus
1/2 tsp cumin ground
1/2 tsp cayenne or 1 tsp chili powder will do if you fear the hotter stuff
1 heaping TBSP mint chutney or 2-3 tbsp fresh mint or 2 tbsp dried mint, if nothing else is available. The mint chutney is preferable because most are made with a "bite".
16 oz plain yogurt plus
Grate 1 whole cucumber, medium or large. Peel if waxed. Include the juice when you add the cucumber to the mix.
1 stalk green onion. Cut the green part into tiny circles.
*Mince the white part and set aside for the true onion lovers to use as a topping.
Dice and add 1 or 2 small roma tomato including juice and seed.

Refrigerate.
Some raita purists argue that mint chutney should be separate from raita. I admit my raita does cheat by adding the coolness of the mint to the coolness of the yogurt but it is well worth a taste.
