mint raita

I made a basic mint raita to go with my cashew curry. I wasn’t sure how it would turn out but it had all the right textures and flavours and was marvelous. It is just the thing to cool the spicy curry down or to dip vegetable sticks into.

Recipe:

1/2 cup cashew nuts soaked
1 cup diced cucumber
2 tsp  agave nectar
1 Tblsp lime juice
1/2 tsp macrobiotic salt
a hand full of chopped mint
1/2 clove garlic
1/2 tsp ground cumin

Blend the cashews, agave, lime, salt, garlic and cumin in a blender.

Mix in by hand the mint and cucumber and leave in the fridge to let the flavours mingle.

you can add a little pinch of cayenne to spice it up, I did.
