Chop the cucumber and onions really thin and tiny

According to my mom you shouldn't have the need to munch the cucumber and onion, so it has to be that tiny and thin

When it comes to the ginger, its really meant for a splash of taste, so you need a reallllllly small of piece of ginger, and that has to be cut smaller than the cucumber and onions

Cut some fresh coriander

Put all of this in a bowl, and add a generous amount of plain yogurt

My mom would add a spoon (tsp / tbsp depending on the quantity) of Mayo for some flavor

You can avoid this and it won't affect the raita

If you are adding the tomatoes, wait until you are going to serve it

Growing up in my home, mom made the raita and let it sit in the fridge until it was served
