I chose this Raita recipe or the fresh mint aspect and devoured it atop red indian chickpea curry last night. Raita merging with the spiciness of curry and chili entres makes me want to eat more today. I added minced scallion and substituted lemon grass to avoid runny yogurt from lemon juice. Excellent recipe for mint lovers.
