This Mint and Coriander Yoghurt Dip/sauce is the perfect accompaniment to any rice dish, or delicious with all types of roasts/grills. The Delicate flavours of coriander, mint and cumin, will only enhance your dish.
Often is the case, that I may have shared a recipe or pic, on my various other social media platforms, only to realise that I had not documented it here on my Blog. This is one such recipe. A rather simple and easy to whip dip, that is almost always found on our tables, ever since I can remember. This Mint and Coriander yoghurt, also commonly known as Dhai or raita, is the perfect add on to any rice dish, grills/roasts or even savouries.
Do give it try, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Notes by FOODEVA MARSAY
* You could only just use either mint or coriander on their own. But this combination in my recipe, works incredibly well together.
* Do Not Use WHOLE CUMIN SEEDS…use the powder as mentioned.
* Adjust chillie content according to your personal preference.
* In South Africa…this recipe can also be made with Sour milk (smooth). But ensure you follow as stated and whisk in for a lovely thick end result.
