The recipe is simple. I usually grind the mint leaves and add them to the raita. This gives a really good flavor of the mint leaves. If short of time, you can just finely chop the mint leaves and then add them. Another variation you can make is mint coriander raita by adding some coriander leaves. This version will have a refreshing minty taste and a subtle lemony flavor from the fresh coriander leaves....

The content on Downshiftology was viewed 10 million times in 2018 (up from 3 million in 2017) – which translates to more than 3x growth!...
