Cucumber Raita


This recipe goes very well with any kind of Paratha's,Pulao,Biryani or just as side dish with plain roti.Its has such a soothing and velvety texture that you feel like eating the entire bowl.

Here's the recepie.

Cucumber
Yogurt
Coriender leaves
Roasted Cumin
Chat masala or Balck salt
Mint leaves
Green Chillies
salt to taste

Grate the Cucumber with a fine grater.Finely chop Coriender leaves,Mint leaves and Green chillies.The finer you chop the better it tastes.Powder the rosted Cumin in a pestle.Beat the plain yogurt and mix grated cucumber,chopped Coriender,Mint,Chillies and Cumin powder and a pinch of store bought Chat masala.One can buy Chat masala in any Indian or Pakistani grocers or even can substitute with a pinch of finely powdered black salt.Refrigrate until you serve.I certainly know you all will like it and might want to make it more often.

Tip - Don't put everything in blender and grind it.It makes it frothy and watery and guys I eyeballed all the measurements and you can finetune to your tastebuds.

Enjoy!
