This recipe is a keeper! The yogurt raita is creamy, flavorful, and refreshing. I love serving it with Indian food, but it would also be great with grilled chicken or fish.

I'm not a big fan of yogurt, but I really enjoyed this raita. The cucumber and mint helped to balance out the tanginess of the yogurt.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spice.
