Cucumber Raita is a healthy, no cooking accompaniment for spicy rice meal like Biryani and flatbreads like roti & chapati too.

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 !
