Minted Cucumber Raita

Posted on 16th of March, 2011 by Lévana

Think of Raita not only as a cool and delicious way to put out the fire of curries, but even on its own: mint, cucumber, yogurt: What could be more fun and more yum?

Ingredients:

3 cups plain low-fat yogurt (soy or coconut yogurt for non-dairy)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon cumin

Red pepper flakes to taste (skip if you want an all-mild raita)

1/4 cup mint leaves, packed, chopped

1 tablespoon sugar

1 large seedless cucumber, grated coarse

Instructions:

Mix all ingredients gently in a bowl. Serve chilled with curried dishes. Makes about 4 cups.
