Essentially a yogurt salad, raita accompanies everything on the plate. All you do is stir and taste to make this dish.

• 3 cups organic whole milk yogurt
  
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
  
• 1/2 cup sliced whole scallions
  
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon toasted ground cumin (heat in a skillet until fragrant)
  
• 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon toasted cayenne pepper (heat a few moments until fragrant)
  
• 1/2 sweet red pepper, diced
  
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander
  
• 1/2 "burpless" cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
