Its really astounding that I havent posted much of raita recipes....So here I start with a very simple cucumber raita which can be put together in just 10mins which serves as a great side dish for biryani , pulao or even rotis.

Cucumber Raita  Recipe - Ingredients

Cooking & Preparation Time: 10 mins

Curd - 1 cup
Cucumber - 3 small
Cumin powder  - 1/4 tsp
Red Chilli powder - 1/4 tsp
Coriander leaves - 2 tsp chopped
Salt - to taste

Method:

1.Rinse cucumber in water,peel of the skin using a peeler and trim the edges. Then  chop them into small bite sized pieces or just grate them finely, set aside. In a mixing bowl whisk the curd well.

2.Then add cumin powder, red chilli powder , required salt then chopped cucumber and coriander leaves. Mix well.

Serve with biryani / even rotis!

My Notes:

• You can even grate the cucumber instead of chopping.But I personally prefer the chunky pieces as its nice crunchy :)

• You can add pepper powder instead of red chilli powder too.

• Always whisk the curd well before mixing the ingredients for any type of raita.

• Use thick curd(yogurt) for raita.

• You can even roast cumin seeds before powdering to give more flavour to your raita.

• If you prefer garnish with cumin powder while serving.
