While we love this traditional yogurt-based condiment as a cooling accompaniment to an array of Indian mains, like this Murgh Makhanwala (Butter Chicken), we think it works equally well spooned over an omelette at the brunch table.
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 English cucumber (about 6 oz.), seeded and grated
- 1⁄2 medium tomato, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 1⁄2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 1⁄2 Tbsp. roughly chopped fresh mint leaves

- 1⁄2 tsp. ground coriander
- 1⁄4 tsp. ground cumin
- 1⁄2 medium carrot, finely grated
Instructions
Step 1
Toss cucumbers, tomatoes, and salt in a colander and let sit for 10 minutes.
