For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of chopped fresh mint or cilantro to the Raita before chilling. Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference. If you prefer a milder flavor, use only 2 cloves. If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute it with Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor profile. Serve chilled alongside your favorite Indian curries, grilled meats, or as a refreshing dip with naan bread.
