I added some fresh parsley to this mixture, and left the chilies to be added individually, since many in this household do not like spicy foods. Both with and without the chile, this is a fantastic raita. I made enough for leftovers, so that I can mix it tomorrow for my lunch with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers too. Thanks, Shaz! Made for PAC Fall 2008.

This was yum with Simple Chicken Biryani without the green chilies, cumin seed and I didn't add ginger and it is not in the ingredients list!! I also added peeled sliced English cucumber to make it a larger amount and add some veggie to the meal. I would make this again possibly with a similar or the same dish.

This was very good! I made it to go with Chicken Breasts With Apple Curry Sauce and they complimented each other nicely.
