Cucumber Raita
Cucumber Raita
Serves 4
• 1 cup yogurt
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 large cucumber (peeled and sliced in 1/4-inch rounds)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 large cucumber (peeled and sliced in 1/4-inch rounds)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves
1. The best cumin powder to use for a raita is dry roasted. If you can take the time (just 5 minutes), bake the cumin seeds until they are a little dark, and then grind them in a spice grinder, or under a rolling pin. This process gives extra-special flavor.
2. In bowl mix yogurt, water, salt, and cayenne. Add cucumbers to yogurt mixture. Sprinkle cumin powder on top. Garnish with coriander leaves.
