Fijian raita

Typically served either as a salad or a condiment, Fijian raita is a perfect dish for hot summer days, consisting of sour cream or yogurt, grated carrots and cucumbers, minced garlic and chiles, and seasonings such as cumin and salt. Raita is always served well-chilled because it was originally invented as a way to cool down the palate after eating hot and spicy lobster curries.
