CUCUMBER RAITA

Cucumber Raita image

I love this refreshing raita. It is my tweaked version from Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking book. I serve it with every Indian meal I make. I could make a summer meal of it by dipping in parantha bread or pita. Mmm... Use more cayenne if you like a little more heat - has a pleasant spicy/cool mix. For some reason when I enter that it needs a 5" cucumber, it wants to say 5 cucumbers. So... I've listed as 1 cucumber below.
