CUCUMBER RAITA



Cucumber Raita image

Serve this cool, refreshing salad with my Lamb Tagine and Moroccan Couscous on this site. Make the salad early in the day and keep in the refrigerator to let the flavors blend and intensify. Add more mint to taste, but do not substitute dried mint; the flavor is just not the same.

CUCUMBER RAITA



Cucumber Raita image

I love this refreshing raita. It is my tweaked version from Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking book. I serve it with every Indian meal I make. I could make a summer meal of it by dipping in parantha bread or pita. Mmm... Use more cayenne if you like a little more heat - has a pleasant spicy/cool mix. For some reason when I enter that it needs a 5" cucumber, it wants to say 5 cucumbers. So... I've listed as 1 cucumber below.
