2 Fresh green hot chillies finely chopped
Chopped fresh Mint:- 1 Tsp
Cayenne Pepper:- 1 Tsp
1/4 tsp Salt or to taste
Chopped fresh cilantro:- 1/4 Cup
Ingredients:-
1) Combine the cumin, coriander seeds & Peppercorns in a small frying pan and toast over medium heat until the seeds begin to brown and become fragrant , 1 to 2 minutes.
2) Grind to a powder in a Spice grinder and set aside.
3) Whisk the yogurt in a bowl until smooth and lightened.
4)Add the cucumber, onion, tomato , chillies and mint and stir to mix well.
