Savoury Cucumber Raita to pair with your meal of the day, ready in less than 10 mins.
Ingredients
- 2/3 Cup Cucumber Grated
- 1.5 Cup Yogurt
- 1/4 Teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- 1/4 Teaspoon Black Salt
- Salt As per taste
- 1/4 Teaspoon Red Chilli Powder
- 1/5 Teaspoon Asafoetida
- 1 Teaspoon Oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth. Add grated cucumber into it and mix well.
- Now, take a small pan or a ladle for tempering. Heat it over slow flame and add oil to it. Once oil is hot enough, add asafoetida, cumin seeds and red chilli powder to it. Switch off the heat and add this to the whisked yogurt.
- Add black salt and plain salt and mix everything well.
- Cucumber raita is ready to serve.
Notes
- You can use finely chopped cucumber in place of grated cucumber. It is advised to grate cucumber only when you are planning to make raita same time. This is because grated cucumber if left for sometime, will release water.
- You can add all the spices directly if you don’t want tempering. For doing so, dry roast asafoetida and cumin seeds for 2 minutes before adding them to the raita.
