My cook made a mix-veg pulao for today’s lunch, but I forgot to ask her to make a raita to go along with the pulao. So, to kill two birds with one arrow, I shot a video of cucumber raita recipe. That’s what I like about my job. I get to make my cake and eat it too :). I am off to enjoy my meal of pulao and raita, but you take a look at this simple recipe and try it!
About Cucumber Raita
Cucumber Raita (Kheere Ka Raita) is an Indian accompaniment made using plain yogurt, cucumbers, and a few spices. This recipe is very easy to make and comes together in under 10 minutes. Serve it with any Indian-style meal. It will not only enhance the taste but also cool you down. Milk – Add a little milk to thin the raita. You can also replace milk with water. Cucumber is the star ingredient of this recipe. You can use any variety: Indian, Persian, or English. Mint and Cilantro (Coriander Leaves) give a refreshing taste. Green Chilies – This is optional, but I love the hint of spiciness green chilies add to this raita. Others – You will also need roasted cumin powder and black salt. You can skip adding cumin powder and salt and add a teaspoon of raita masala powder instead.
½ cup chilled milk ½ cup peeled and grated cucumber 2 tablespoon chopped mint leaves 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro 1 teaspoon chopped green chilies 1 teaspoon black salt ½ teaspoon roasted cumin powder
