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!

Mango Salsa

One nice wintery evening I felt hungry and had craving for eating salsa.I don't like store salsa's much since they smell venigary...I hope you could understand whatever that means.

Here is my recipe for Mango Salsa.

1 Mango (not too soft or juciy it should be stiff and yellow in color)

1 tsp Coriender leaves.

1 tsp freshly ground roasted cumin.

1 tsp finely chopped green chillies.

1tbsp lime juice

salt to taste

Finely chop the Mango and mix in all the ingredients together.Serve it along side corn chips.Perfect and healthy way to make children to eat fruit in snack way.you can add red onions if you like little zing in it.I liked it very much ...try it....just takes couple of minutes for preparation.
