    Ingredients

    • 1 cup curd
    • 3 small cucumber
    • 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon red chilli powder
    • 2 teaspoon coriander leaves chopped
    • salt to taste

    Instructions

    • 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.
    • Then add cumin powder, red chilli powder , required salt then chopped cucumber and coriander leaves. Mix well.
    • Serve Cucumber Raita with biryani / even rotis!

    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.

      i would suggest before u cut the entire cucumber just taste a bit some times there is a bitter taste in the cucumber so generally i avoid that 🙂 instead of mixing and spoiling everything

      I love the base and color combo wow awesome !

      try grating apple (skin less) and adding to raita. You'll fall in love with it.
