Cucumber Raita (Version 2)
Raitas are side dishes usually prepared to accompany spicy dishes since yogurt acts as a coolant. There are of course spicy raitas too like this one for example, that can form a quick meal when served with rotis / rice. I some times keep it pretty basic to eat it as a snack and go with (naturally) sweet, fresh yogurt as this cucumber raita. I added some crushed fennel and cumin seeds for the flavor and trust me, this is simple yet yummy. This can be served along with rotis as well.
Ingredients: (2 servings)
1.5 cup yogurt
1/4 cup grated cucumber
1 tsp roughly crushed fennel seeds / saunf (save some to garnish)
Cumin powder to taste
Salt to taste
Minced cilantro to garnish
Method:
Whisk the yogurt lightly with a fork. Add salt, cumin powder and fennel seeds. Mix well. Gently stir in the grated cucumber. Garnish with cilantro and crushed fennel seeds before serving.
I decided on this dish as soon as I saw the announcement of this minth's Magic Mingle. It goes to MM#17 - Yogurt & Fennel Seeds.
