    Can substitute the book's "Home-made yoghurt (Ghar nu dahi)" for Greek yoghurt.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Roasted butternut squash curry with garlic and tomatoes (Lasan, tametar anna kaddu nu shaak); Slow-cooked red pepper and paneer curry (Karahi paneer); The perfect lamb biryani (Badshah biryani)

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This is a terrific raita. Easy, as it should be, and pairs perfectly with rice.
