A popular side dish in Indian cuisine, raita is a yoghurt-based dip or condiment that is traditionally served alongside spicy curries and biryanis. This variation of raita incorporates fresh coriander and sweet mango for a refreshing twist on the classic recipe. Mangoes are abundant during the summer months, making this dish a perfect addition to your outdoor barbecue or picnic spread. The recipe is easy to make and can be customized to personal taste preferences.

1.	Heat the cumin seeds in a pan over medium heat until fragrant, then remove from heat and grind them in a pestle and mortar or spice grinder.
2.	In a large bowl, mix the yoghurt, ground cumin, and honey together until smooth.
3.	Add the coriander, mango, cucumber, and green chile to the bowl and stir until well combined.
4.	Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
5.	Serve with your favourite spicy Indian dishes or as a refreshing dip for vegetable crudites.
