About this recipe
Pumpkin raita never gets the attention cucumber does, and that's a shame — the cooked pumpkin turns silky and faintly sweet against the cool, tart yoghurt. Steam or sauté the cubes until they yield to a fork, then mash lightly so you get soft pockets of pumpkin rather than a purée. A heavy hand with roasted cumin and black pepper keeps it from tipping too sweet.

About this recipe
Use cashew yoghurt and steam the pumpkin until very soft so the dairy-free raita still tastes creamy.
