Raita with Pomegranate Seeds
Healthy, because

Nutritional values
The menthol from fresh mint relieves mild muscle cramps and can drive away weak tension headaches. Especially with fiery dishes, yogurt can soften the spiciness. It also provides an extra serving of bone-strengthening calcium.
For a vegan version of raita, you can also use soy yogurt instead of yogurt. If you have pitted a whole pomegranate for the recipe, you can still store the remaining pomegranate seeds in the refrigerator for a few days and garnish porridge, muesli or salads with them, for example.
