Ingredients
- 1pint cherry tomatoes, washed and stemmed
- 3tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- ½cup yogurt
- ¼cup golden raisins
- ⅓cup roughly chopped fresh mint
- 3teaspoons curry powder
Preparation
- Step 1
Build a fire in your grill; when the flames have died down, all the coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the grill for about 5 seconds), you’re ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium.)
- Step 2
Meanwhile, toss the cherry tomatoes with the oil, sprinkle them generously with the salt and pepper and thread them onto skewers loosely enough so they are just touching. Prepare the remaining ingredients but keep them separate.
- Step 3
Put the tomato skewers on the grill directly over the coals and cook, rolling around a few times, just until they are slightly soft and a bit blistered, 3 to 4 minutes. Slide the tomatoes off the skewers into a large bowl, add the yogurt, raisins, mint and curry powder one after another, toss, season to taste if needed and serve.

Cooking Notes
Can’t do yogurt, so subbed in grated apple for the white goopy element. Makes a great easy side salsa-vegie-thing; different.
It is a great mistake to add curry powder without quickly sautéing it first. Without this essential step the flavor will be harsh and raw.

This is raita like, good.
