Yogurt with Cucumber- Raita

Cold yogurt with fresh vegetables is a great sidekick to a lot of warm Indian dishes also referred to as raita. Raita provides itself as a great base that allows you to make substitutions as you see fit. I've blitz one avocado into the yogurt before or even substitute the jalapeños with a green chili if you want something more spicy. The options are unlimited.
