After feedback from the others I added 1 cup diced tomato and reduced the salt. I enjoyed the recipe. I however have a fantastic raita blend from the Ajika company that I use on a regular basis and I love the roasted cumin and mint in the blend. I love foods from all over the world and I have found Ajika spices on amazon and indianfoodsco. I recommend their spice blends if you like to cook foods from India and elsewhere.
