Onion and coriander raita

This is a really easy and fresh accompaniment to many a dish. It is a simple side to Indian food or can help form part of a mezze plate, alongside the usuals of hummous and falafel. We had it on the side of my delicious mossaka stuffed tomatoes for dinner this week.


What you will need
2 tablespoons plain yoghurt
1/2 an onion
1 green chilli
1/2 a lemon
1/2 tea spoon paprika
Fresh coriander


Firstly, finely slice the onion and chop the chilli. Place into a small bowl and season with salt and squeeze over the lemon juice. Leave the onions to soften for 5-10 minutes.

Next, stir in the plain yoghurt and chopped fresh coriander. Top with the paprika and serve.
