Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 large seedless cucumber -- the kind with the plastic wrap or 4 small cucumbers (about 3 cups when chopped)
3 medium carrots -- (about 1 1/2 cups when chopped)
1 small green pepper -- (about 1/2 cup when chopped)
1 small orange pepper -- (about 1/2 cup when chopped)
1 cup cherry tomatoes
2 cups drained canned sweet corn
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds -- (I didnt use, because I couldnt find them)
3 cups yogurt
salt

Peel the cucumber and carrots, and chop into very small pieces. Chop the
peppers into tiny pieces as well. Cut each cherry tomato into 2 or 3
pieces. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, except salt. Place
the raita in the fridge. Raita tastes better if it sits over night. Add
salt just before serving and stir well. Serve chilled.

Serves about 10, as a side dish

AuthorNote: I am happy just eating a huge bowl of this for dinner. But
this colorful raita will be a great accompaniment to and Indian dinner of
rice, roti and curry.

My grandmother adds salt to the raita only just before serving. If you add
salt any sooner, it will draw out the moisture from the vegetables and
make your raita watery. And make sure you let the raita sit in the fridge
overnight, it tastes much better than eating it right away.

ChupaNote: we added some chopped mint as well, and a sprinkling of Aleppo
red pepper.
