Family Fridays #7 Raita

IMG_4481Yesterday, I shared about a new find of mine. I found an amazing company called Bhumroo Kids. They sell products to teach children about the world. They were kind enough to send us a box this month. It was full of goodies that taught my boys about India. Obviously, my boys loved it. They were able to see how far our family is that live in Hyderabad, listen to fun Bollywood music, do some crafts, and make a new recipe!Today, I want to share their delicious raita recipe. Raita is a mixture of yogurt and a few ingredients to make it even better. It's perfect to cool the spicy flavors of different Indian dishes. IMG_4531Ingredients:1 large cucumber2 cups of whole milk yogurt1.4 cup of chopped mint1 tsp ground cumin1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper or chili powder1 pinch of saltDirections:Wash the cucumber. Grate the cucumber and cut it into small pieces. Mix together the cut cucumber, yogurt, cumin, cayenne or chili powder, and salt. Add the mint to the top. Keep refrigerated until you're ready to serve. This is great with keema, meat curry, chicken tikka, and pretty much any Indian dish. Yum!To find our more about Bhumroo Kids, check out their website!
