Yummy Khire ka Raita ( Indian Salad )


Ingredients

  • 3 large cucumbers or 2 English cucumbers, peeled
  • 1 cup plain yogurt, store-bought or homemade
  • 1 serrano chile, minced
  • 2 teaspoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, dry roasted and ground

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground Indian red chile*

Instructions

Slice the cucumbers in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds out, you can do it with a teaspoon. Grate the cucumber halves into a small bowl. I know some of you may not want to use your hands but you have to while making Indian Food. So using your hands, squeeze all the juice out of the cucumbers. Place the cucumbers in a work bowl. Add the yogurt and the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired for sweetness and heat. Refrigerate for about ½ hour before serving.

It serves for 4 to 6 peoples.
