How to make raita taste as fresh as the restaurants?

If I buy yogurt and try to make raita it never tastes as fresh or un-sour as it does in the restaurants... How do I get that un-sour flavor they always have? It doesn't matter which recipe I follow, the yogurt still has that tang that I don't like... Any suggestions?How to make raita taste as fresh as the restaurants?
Bascially, traditional raita is made with fresh made yoghurt, which is sweeter. Making yoghurt at home is easy and I am sure you can find plenty of online recipes. But there is one other option:



The US and even some in India restaurants will usually add a small amount of sugar to the raita (during the whisking process) to take away some of the tang. You do need to whisk the yoghurt and add in your salt, spices, water and sugar and blending well before mixing in any veggies/fruits. And you can keep it chilled by adding a few ice cubes like they do in India, but this can make it a little bit runny.



Additionally important is hand-chopping the fruits and vegetables with a sharp knife, as opposed to using a food processor.



One final suggestion: instead of ground cumin, use freshly roasted and ground cumin seeds: this tastes much better and fresher too.

use strained yoghurt, it gets rid of the sour lactic acid.
