Vegan Raita
This cooling Vegan Raita is the perfect accompaniment to spicy Indian curries and dals. Made with refreshing cucumber, creamy plant-based yogurt, and aromatic spices like garam masala and toasted cumin, it provides a zesty contrast that balances bold flavors. It is quick to prepare and can be stored in the fridge for a few days.
Instructions
- 1
Grate the cucumber (0.25) using a box grater. Wrap the grated cucumber in paper towels or a clean kitchen towel and squeeze thoroughly to remove as much water as possible.
