Do you mean Mint Raita Yogurt - low fat yogurt, mixed with salt, pepper, finely chopped cucumber and tomato, and then add freshly ground mint leaves - leave in fridge overnight.
You can vary the above to suit your own needs ie add other veg etc.

Take 1 cup of unsweetened yogurt, add some finely minced fresh mint, some grated fresh ginger, some red pepper flakes and one grated cucumber. Let marinate to combine flavors.

Yogurt, mint, pepper, salt, chili paste, a sprinkle of sugar and then blend
