Cooling Cucumber & Onion Raita: Refreshing Indian Yogurt Side Dish

Use good quality yogurt: Full-fat Greek yogurt or homemade dahi will yield the creamiest, most flavorful raita.
Roast your cumin seeds: Toasting cumin seeds before grinding enhances their flavor significantly.
Adjust spice levels: Modify the amount of green chilies and red chili powder to suit your spice preference.
Make it ahead: This raita tastes even better after chilling for a few hours, allowing the flavors to blend perfectly.
