Recipe summary

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 135 minutes
Yield: 4

Ingredients

Raita

  • 1 cucumber, peeled, seeds and grated
  • 1 large tomato, seeds and pulp removed and chopped finely
  • 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

Soup

  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 pinch salt
  • chopped fresh mint
  • 1 pinch smoked paprika

Directions

Raita

  1. Place the cucumber and tomatoes in a sieve for about 15 minutes, to drain off any excess liquid. Add to a bowl with the yogurt and buttermilk and stir well to combine. Season with salt to taste.

Soup

  1. Put the cumin and coriander seeds into a small skillet and toast over low heat until they just begin to smoke and are very fragrant, about 15 seconds. Grind in a mortar and pestle.
  2. Put the raita into a large glass bowl and whisk in the toasted spices, vegetable broth and salt. Place in the fridge until completely chilled, about 2 hours. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a pinch of paprika and chopped fresh mint.
