Burnt onion raita

Bhuna Pyaz Raita

Yogurt-based raita; book gives weight or no unit.

Nothing truly replaces the burnt-onion flavour of the original raita; these are only the closest dairy bases.

• 
  Plain yoghurt

  Use the same weight; stir in a little fried onion and a pinch of chaat masala if you have them. It is fresher and lacks the burnt-onion smokiness.

• 
  Full-fat yoghurt

  Use the same weight; thicker and richer, so loosen with a spoon of water. Same dairy base but no burnt onion.

• 
  Mint raita

  Use the same weight; it gives a cool mint flavour instead of smoky onion, so adjust salt and chilli.
