Recipe > Cucumber Raita

Ingredients:

1 small cucumber

1 tsp cumin seeds

Method:

Peel the cucumber and cut lengthwise into two halves. Slice each half finely.
Heat a small pan over low heat and dry roast the cumin seeds until they turn a shade darker.
Allow the seeds to cool, then crush them with a rolling pin or pestle and mortar.
Beat the yogurt until smooth. Stir in the cumin along with the salt.
Reserve a few slices of cucumber for garnish and add the rest to the yogurt mix thoroughly.
Put the raita into a serving dish and arrange the reserved cucumber on top.
Sprinkle the paprika evenly on the sliced cucumber.
