All amounts are really to-taste. The below "recipe" is just an approximation.

Nutrition

Notes
You can also add fine diced onions, shredded carrots, fresh cilantro, etc. to raita (yogurt condiment).
Other spices are fine, too, such as chaat masala to make it chatpata or some tamarind concentrate to make it a bit tart.
I like to keep all the liquid from the tomatoes as well to help thin out the final product; it might also give it a pretty, slightly pink color.
