And similarly natural yogurt with a handful of fresh chopped mint and a dash of honey - we have a massive patch of mint here that is grows like a weed in this damp weather.

My take on cucumber raita:

1 tsp cumin seeds, toasted in a dry pan
250 ml plain yogurt
1/2 cucumber, peeled, de-seeded and grated
1 green chilli, finely chopped
small handful of mint, finely chopped
a pinch of sugar

Mix together and use as a dip for toasted pitta breads, crudites or lamb kofte.

If anyone has a salsa they make I'd like to hear about it. I took a quick look online and some used special tinned tomatoes, some cooked it, some used fresh tomatoes, very confusing!

I use the sweetest fresh tomatoes I can find, finely chopped to somewhere between the size of Dolly Mixtures and sugar.

Then do the same with a red onion, a few chillies and some coriander, and mix everything together with the juice of 1/2 a lime and a pinch of sugar to taste.

You can make salsa in a food processor, but the texture is better when chopped. A bore, but there it is.

Mayonaise, Natural yoghurt and garlic paste make an excellent dip for chicken.

Gives a great texture and healthier than just pure mayonnaise.
