CUCUMBER-CILANTRO RAITA (YOGURT)

Cucumber-Cilantro Raita (Yogurt) image

Quick and tasty Indian yogurt side dish that can help cool down any spicy meal. You can also add other veggies like onion, tomatoes, or bell peppers. I ate this almost every day growing up. The leftover cucumber seeds also taste great marinated in a little lemon juice with salt and pepper!
