Not op but raita is just a thinned yogurt and cucumber. It's one of those "made by feel" things so while there are online recipes with ratios it should be made to a texture you like. The cuke is usually shredded but can be minced or grated as well ( and combos exist as well). There's a lot of variations which include other things like tomato, green chillies, or spices.
Op appears to have made a thicker version with some mint added.
Thanks
It's exactly what @phdepressed described. I used greek yoghurt, with a grated cucumber (drained the water), a clove of garlic, a pinch of salt, the juice from half lime, and some fresh mint. (It's very similar to tzatziki, without the dill and less garlic.)
This looks amazing! Could you share the recipe you used, please?
I added it to the post.
Looks so good!
This looks amazing, I make similiar curries all the time and they freeze really well without the shrimp - just add freshly cooked seafood when reheating for best texture!
That's a good idea! Unfortunately I don't really have the freezer space for ready made dishes, at most ingredients and such.
Maybe I've missed something everyone knows. I was expecting to see the recipe in the comments or post. Am I being stupid?
Dishes on here don't always come with the recipe. I added some info in the post.
