Spusht: Recipe: Grapes & Walnut Raita

I had one whole packet of grapes at home. Grapes that were about to rot, actually. I needed something beyond salads to use them. Found this raita recipe - a delicious combination of seasoned yogurt (raita) with fruit + nuts + herb + spices that turned out sooooo good! This Grapes and Walnut Raita is going to be addictive if you have a taste like mine.
