Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup cucumber (chopped )
1½ cup yogurt ((thick, more if needed))
¼ teaspoon salt (as needed)
½ teaspoon roasted ground cumin ((jeera powder, refer notes))
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper (( or cayenne pepper, adjust to taste))
2 tablespoons coriander leaves ((cilantro finely chopped))

4 to 5 mint leaves ((optional, finely chopped))
1 green chili pepper ((seeded and chopped))

Steps:

Rinse cucumber and peel it. Chop to tiny bite size pieces (about ¼ to ½ inch). If you prefer you may even grate it. Grated cucumbers let out moisture so make sure you use only greek yogurt if you want to grate them. Otherwise cucumber raita becomes runny.
Also fine chop coriander and mint leaves (optional).
Deseed the green chilli and chop. (optional)
Whisk chilled yogurt in a large mixing bowl.
Add chopped cucumber, green chilies, coriander leaves, mint leaves and salt. Mix all of them.
Taste test and add more salt if needed. Drizzle cumin powder, ground black pepper & chaat masala (optional).
Serve cucumber raita as a side in an Indian meal. It is usually eaten with Vegetable biryani or chicken biryani.
Cucumber raita is best served fresh but can be chilled for a few hours.

WORLD'S BEST RAITA

World's Best Raita image

My family has been making raita this way for as long as I can remember. It's simple and delicious. The trick is to use mustard seeds instead of cumin. The mustard gives it a kick, but if you want you can reduce it. Yummy!!!

Categories Low Protein

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

3 cups yogurt
4 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 baby cucumber
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

Whisk yogurt until smooth and set aside.
Grate or dice cucumber. I think grated cucumbers enhance the flavor.
In a spice grinder or blender crush the mustard seeds into a powder consistency.
Combine yogurt, cucumber, and mustard seeds and set aside for 30 minutes. This lets the flavors blend in and the mustard can do its job.
A few minutes before you are ready to serve add the salt. Adjust salt according to your needs. Enjoy!
