Kheera Raita

Kheera (cucumber) raita is a yogurt based side that is perfect for the hot summer months, and for the cold summer months if you've just eaten some very spicy curry.

Materials:

1 small cucumber
1 1/2 cup plain yogurt (lowfat works perfectly well for this)
1/2 teaspoon bhuna zeera (toasted cumin seeds) crushed
pinch of red chili powder
salt

Preparation:


Grate the cucumber and squeeze to remove water. Whip yogurt. Combine these and add salt to taste. Mix in the cumin powder now and sprinkle the red chili powder. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves (cilantro).
