Instructions
- To make Cucumber Raita, take 2 medium-sized cucumbers. Wash them properly. Now, cut a small piece from one side and rub it so that the bitterness goes away.
- Next, peel the outer layer, cut it in half, and scoop out the seeds with a knife.
- Take a grater and grate the cucumbers. Don’t use the small side; use the large size.
- Take a bowl, and add a cup of Fresh Curd. I’ve shared the Homemade Curd recipe that you can check out.
- Now, using a hand whisker, whisk the curd into a smooth paste. If the Curd is very thick, you can add a little bit of water.
- Add the grated cucumber to the bowl, add 1/4 tsp of Kali Mirch powder, 1 tsp roasted Jeera Powder, salt to taste, 1 tsp Black salt, 1 tsp finely chopped Hari Mirch, 1 tbsp finely chopped green coriander leaves, and 1 tsp finely chopped fresh Mint leaves.
- Mix everything well. After mixing, refrigerate it for half an hour or 1 hour, as it tastes delicious.
- Garnish with roasted cumin powder, Kashmiri red chilli powder, and fresh mint leaves.
- The flavorful Cucumber Raita is ready now.
- Enjoy!
