  roasted cumin (jeera) powder

Notes

1.If you like raitas to be little thick and creamy, use plain Greek Yogurt. If you want it thinner, mix in a little cold water till you achieve the desired consistency.

2.The curd used should not be too sour.

3.You can replace black salt with regular salt.

4.You can replace black pepper powder with finely chopped green chillies.

5.I have added some chopped coriander leaves for that herby punch, but you can surely use fresh mint for a better refreshing flavor.

6.Vegans can replace dairy yogurt with non-dairy yogurt like cashew yogurt ,coconut yogurt etc.
