Raita is a traditional Indian recipe made in different ways from region to region. This is a spin on traditional Indian yogurt raita that my relatives in North India make. That recipe is usually made with beaten yogurt and a vegetable (very often cucumbers) and flavored with red chili powder and roasted cumin powder. In this recipe, I make a combo of a North Indian raita and tzatziki with sautéed garlicky and lemony kale in place of cucumbers. What’s really great about this recipe is that kale is available seasonally almost all year round, so you can make this recipe any time of year. You can prepare this dish as a side or an appetizer dip.
