Cucumber Raita


Cucumber raita is perhaps one of the most popular raitas ever made. It goes well with roti or rice, veg or non-veg and is a perfect accompaniment to dry subzi or spicy biryani. This quick dish does not take more than 5 mts of preparation.

Ingredients

2 cucumbers
1/2 tsp cumin seed powder (dry roast cumin seeds and grind into powder)
3 tbsp curd/yogurt
salt to taste
chopped coriander leaves
1 green chilly chopped
1/2 tsp chat masala



Method

1) Grate the cucumbers. Add curd, salt, roasted cumin powder and chopped green chillies

2) Season with chat masala and coriander leaves. Serve chilled especially one a summer.



NOTE: If you are preparing it with any south indian dish, do not use roasted cumin powder or chaat masala. Instead, make a seasoning that has mustard seeds, urad daal and a pinch of hing and add it to the raita.
