Is there a certain kind of yogurt you use? Or just plain non dairy kind?

Dear VB,
just read your mail with your grandmother’s rainbow coloured raita-and yet what really made me astonishingly curious and vibrate with your emotions is the fact that your grandmas were likes the ‘antipodes’.I am of the generation of your mother I think because I have 2 grandchildren and you are definitely my daughter’s age-group.
I am curious to know about your mother (the family photo is beautiful and nostalgic like photos of yore!)My mother was a pioneer in many aspects and many ways.My mother had a doctorate in Biochemistry, the first woman Science graduate from Delhi University, travelled abroad together with my father and also alone for research work.And in addition my mother I bet was one of the first to marry outside the ‘community’ and I with my siblings do feel richer for her courage and conviction!!!
Your cooking blog along with the numerous other young women does surprise me pleasantly but my heart and soul wonders with apprehension for the millions of people who are not within THE LOOP! I do hope the situation of our great land will improve and you young women will also think deeply and contribute in your own ways to their betterment!!!

Great looking colours. This is packed with vegies, I totally need this as I am bad and never cook or eat them.

I love raita and all other uses of yogurt in cooking, really. But raita in particular is always so refreshing in the summer. I love reading about your amazing grandmothers, which makes me think of mine who were also quite remarkable, raising large families through all sorts of turbulent times in China. Anyway, great dish and photos, and always love hearing more about you and your family .
