1 - For this first try, I did not have lime to zest so it's the only the actual yogurt mix that I'm testing.

2 - I again didn't make the topping, but the raita was very good. Older, spongy radishes are just as good.

1½ cup whole milk Greek yogurt

1 cup (4.5oz/125g) red radishes, grated or thinly sliced

pinch cayenne powder

½ tsp cumin powder 

1 fresh chilli, finely chopped

2 Tbsps packed cilantro or dill leaves, chopped

½ tsp salt, to taste

OPTIONAL TOPPING

2 Tbsps vegetable oil

½ tsp cumin seeds

½ tsp mustard seeds

2 to 3 whole dry red chilies

1 tsp lime rind

1. Whisk the yogurt in a bowl until smooth. 
2. Add the radishes, cayenne, cumin, chilli and herb and salt and whisk well. 
3. Check the salt and spices and adjust to suit your taste. 
4. Serve chilled.

FOR THE TOPPING

1. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
2. Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, dry red chilies, and curry leaves, and let them crackle for 4-5 seconds.
3. Pour the tempering over the raita. 
4. Serve chilled.
