Creamy Corn Raita

Raita is a traditional Indian salad that combines yogurt with fresh vegetables. Because chili peppers contain volatile oils that can burn skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with the peppers as much as possible. Wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands touch the chili peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and water.
