A warm pot, a cool spoonful
Bean chili and cornbread meet cucumber yogurt. A flexible home-cook pairing across traditions, with no extra oven dish to juggle.

Beans make the main pot hearty, bread catches the sauce, and cool yogurt contrasts with warm spices. Keep raita separate rather than stirring it into the pot. Vegetarian, not vegan: milk, egg and wheat are present.

- Prepare cucumber yogurt first with clean tools and refrigerate it.
- Start chili, then bake cornbread at its stated temperature. Use cooked canned beans, not raw dry kidney beans.
- Bring out the cold raita just before serving. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours; allow about 1½ hours for cooking.
