I wasn't at all sure about this recipe when I first started making it -- I was expecting it to be a lot more creamy and like a dressing in texture than it was. As someone else said, it's more like a carrot salad with a yogurt dressing. It does the job though and certainly cools down the mouth if you've just had some spicy lime pickle and popadums! I added a touch of salt to the recipe but otherwise made it as directed. Thanks Chrissy for one I'll make again.Reply

I've made this recipe 2 or three times now and it really is a great raita. When I make it, it looks quite different from the picture, more like a salad with a yogurt dressing. This is a very crunchy raita and the ingredients make a lovely combo. Leftovers can be eaten on its own as a salad. Thank you for posting this great raita - it's a keeper.Reply
