⏱ 15 mins 🍽 Serves 6 🌶 indian ✅ Easy 🏷 Condiment

This recipe creates two distinct Indian condiments from one simple base. A fresh, spicy mint and coriander relish is blended with yoghurt, then a portion is mixed with more yoghurt to form a cooling raita. Both are ideal for serving with poppadums as a quick and flavourful starter or accompaniment. The recipe yields enough for six people.
