About this recipe
We started making this when a side dish needed to pull its weight as a meal. Thick Greek yoghurt and a scoop of boiled chickpeas push it past fifteen grams of protein, while cucumber, carrot and tomato keep it fresh and crunchy. Salt the vegetables separately and drain them first, or they'll weep into the yoghurt — what you want is a chilled, loaded raita that eats like a bowl of lunch.
