Cucumber Raita Recipe Step By Step:

Cucumber dahi raita is a fast, easy and delicious recipe. This yummy cucumber dip works great with chips or veggie sticks. The thick and creamy cucumber yogurt sauce for Indian food strikes a cooling balance for hot, fiery dishes. All in all, an amazing Indian condiment.

• To make kheera ka raita, firstly wash, peel and grate the cucumber using a grater.

• Then, take fresh yogurt in a bowl and beat till smooth.

• Sprinkle salt, cumin powder and red chilli powder on the whipped curd. Mix well till all the spices are well blended with the whisked curd. (You can add a pinch of sugar to balance out the flavours).

• Tip in the grated cucumber and chopped coriander leaves. (You can add some mint leaves too).

• Combine all the ingredients. The dip should be of medium consistency, neither too thick nor too runny. I did not add any water to the raita as the grated keera releases a lot of water.
• Pop the cucumber dip into the refrigerator to allow all the flavours to blend well.
• Serve chilled Cucumber yogurt dip as a side with Vegetable Biryani or parathas and sabzi.
