fresh mint

🥗Healthier: dried mint

💰Cheaper: parsley

Dried mint is readily available and less expensive.

To a large bowl add 1.5 cups of thick yogurt. After that, add chilled water to adjust the consistency of the raita. The amount of liquid depends on the thickness of the yogurt and your taste preference. I added about 1/2 cup of water.

Add mango puree, chopped mint and coriander leaves, chopped green chili, salt, ground black pepper, roasted cumin powder, mint powder, and sugar, if using. Mix everything well until combined.

Now add mango chunks and mix again. Garnish with red pepper flakes, mango chunks, and chopped mint coriander leaves.

Serve mango raita immediately or refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until chilled.
