Mast-o-Khiar
Raita, the Persian way, is the best way to describe this easy to prepare dip. It is wonderfully fresh, served chilled with a warm fresh naan, lavaash or roti. It is a good accompaniment to any kind of meal. The deliciousness lies in the burst of flavour and texture, so keep it all ready to mix, literally just as you are about to serve it.

pinch of sugar
a touch of salt
2 small chopped cucumbers
1 small red onion finely chopped
1 cup raisins
