Method
Get ready by peeling and thinly slicing the onion. Finely chop the green chilli and coriander leaves, then place them in a mixing bowl.
Whisk the curd in another bowl for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and free of lumps.
Add the curd, salt and cumin powder to the onion mixture. Mix for 1 minute until the onion is evenly coated and the raita is smooth.
Rest the raita for 5 minutes so the onion flavour blends into the curd. Serve cold or at room temperature with biryani.
