Just whip 1 Cup of Yogurt (I used Oikos Greek Yogurt) with 1 tbsp of store bought mint chutney or sandwich chutney, add some sliced red onion, few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice and season it with salt for a refreshing raita.
To this you can add grated cucumbers, cilantro, mint, green chillies , etc etc...you could also season it with chaat masala, its very twekable :) Using a store bought / pre-made chutney saves you a lot of time and effort, and the lemon juice just freshens up everything.
Raitas are usually served alongside biryanis, kababs or parathas, but you cud also use it as a dip for your nachos or chips or even papad.

simple delicious raita..btw do u have to skin the cucumber before u grate?
Hi
I am a first time visitor in your blog.
The mixing of lemon juice must have done the trick. Till now I had not prepared raita like that. However, looking at all the good responses you had I definitely would try it as raita is a very common dish in my home.
Keep Posting such good dishes.
Happy Blogging.
