Heat vegetable oil in heavy medium skillet over high heat. Add chopped onion and stir until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add chopped jalapeno chilies and stir until beginning to soften, about 1 minute.

Add mustard seds and cumin seeds and stir until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Immediately pour onion mixture over potatoes and stir to coat. Mix in lowfat yogurt, cucumber and tomatoes. Season riata to taste with salt and pepper. Cover tightly and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours. Garnish raita with fresh cilantro leaves and serve. MM Norma Wrenn
