Indian food can be quite spicy. That is why Raita is often eaten with it, a yoghurt dip that can be prepared in different ways. We received the recipe below from Gaby.

Heat a pan and roast the cumin, coriander seeds and black pepper until it is slightly dark.
Put this stuff in a mortar and pound it.

Chop the red onion and finely chop the fresh mint.
