We don t use mustard oil in any raita. Add finely chopped tender ginger.

this raita is also called "pahadi raita". Its loved in uttranchal a lot by its people. Also if u mix all the ingredients + may i add HALDI also to get yellow color and leave outside the fridge for 15-30 min then more pungent flavour will seep in. Delicious!
