One of my Indian graduate students showed me how to make raita about 20 years ago. Since I have experimented with many variations especially switching the herbs. I love the addition of fresh mint more than any herb. Today, I also spiked half of the dip with a splash of Hendrick's gin to experiment with a gimlet version. This idea was inspired by a visit to Lamberts in downtown Austin by their wonderful cucumber gimlet. What a happy addition this turned out to be.
