Mix vegetable raita with peanuts



















This is a simple raita recipe with a little twist;-)

Ingredients:

1 cucumber, peeled and finely chopped
1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1/4C peanuts
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 green chili
1/2C yoghurt
salt to taste
Method:

1) In a pan, dry roast , peanuts and green chili until the peanuts turn brown and chili is a little charred.

2) Grind the peanuts into small bits. Make sure they are not powdered.

3) Chop the roasted green chili. In a bowl mix together yogurt, cucumber, carrot, tomato, onion, peanuts, green chili, salt and chili powder. I am just using half a cup of yoghurt because you can serve it as raita or salad ....You can use more if you wish.

4) Serve chilled.

Serves: 2-3
