1
Prepare Yogurt
In a mixing bowl, add 2 cups of plain yogurt. Whisk until it is smooth and creamy.
2
Chop Vegetables
Peel and finely grate or chop the cucumber and tomato. Add them to the bowl with the yogurt.

3
Mix in Spices
Add 1 tsp of cumin powder, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of black pepper, and 1 tsp of chili powder to the yogurt mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
4
Add Fresh Herbs
Finely chop 2 tablespoons of fresh mint leaves and 2 tablespoons of fresh coriander leaves. Fold them into the raita mixture.

5
Chill and Serve
Cover the raita and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a side dish with biryani or as a dip with naan.
