I ama former chef from Canada and worked in Singapore, the recipes that are there are very good, I make mine like the one listed from "Desi Chef", but for a soothing bit to cool the spices, chilis and sourness is the addition of some dessicated coconut and either soaking it in hot water, or a bit of coconut milk.
The one thing is with fresh mint and cilantro it will not last to long, so make small batches, and with fresh chilis, use a combo of jalepenos, serrano or finger green chili's, if you like it really spicy use the seeds and all, if you want to tame it down or see what you like start with a few whole and some seeded.
natural yoghurt, mint sauce and cucumber! It is sooo dilicious. I hope u have a great time makeing it! =]
