This was one of the best Raita's I have made. It was great with my Indian meal and on all of the things you mentioned. A winner of a recipe. Made for CQ4

I licked the bowl when I was through. That says it all...!!! Made for ZWT8. Thanks, Nif, for another great recipe!

I only made half the recipe for the 2 of us. It went very well with your chicken recipe (482144) and garlic rice. We thoroughly enjoyed this fine meal. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT 8.
