Cucumber Raita

Raita is a yogurt dish served with rice or as a dip. It has a cooling effect when eaten with other spicy foods. It can be made in several ways. I am giving you one of the simplest ones which everyone would like to try. I made this raita for the international food festival held in the Church and many people came and asked me for the recipe so thought of including it here.

Ingredients:

  1. 1 kg plain yogurt
  2. 1 medium sized cucumber
  3. 1 tsp. cumin seeds
  4. 1 tsp. paprika
  5. salt to taste

Method:

  • Remove the skin of cucumber and grate it.
  • Roast the cumin seeds lightly and powder it.
  • Add the grated cucumber, salt, cumin powder and salt to the yogurt and mix.
  • Sprinkle the paprika powder on top and refrigerate.
