Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt -- preferably full fat
1 cup cooked chickpeas -- drained (canned are fine)
1/4 cup minced cucumber -- (leave the skin on if it's unwaxed)
1/4 cup minced red onion
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes -- or to taste
Salt and black pepper

Combine the yogurt, chickpeas, cucumber, onion, sugar, cumin, and mustard
in a bowl.

Yield : 2 1/2 cups (5 one-half cup servings)
Prep Time : 10 minutes, with cooked chickpeas

AuthorNote: It's worth your while to seek out a yogurt that's not overly
processed for this raita (and, for that matter, any other use); national
brands often add thickeners to their yogurts, which significantly change
the yogurt's natural consistency. If they're all that's available to you,
just whisk the yogurt with a little water to thin it out.
