Directions
Cucumber Mint Raita,Yet another recipe from Shawn Sidey and Celelbrity Kitchens. Refreshing accompaniment to any BBQ meal. I suggest adding yogurt a little at a time. Mine came out a little too “yougrt-y” Then again, I forgot to blot the cucumber – don’t YOU forget like I did. Serves 5 adults generously,This was my first attempt at raita, and since I wasn’t aware of what it should be like, please take my comments with a grain of salt. That being said, it was rather overloaded with vegetables, leaving only a coating of yogurt on them. The onion was particularly overpowering. The cucumber & mint mix was excellent; I will probably just add more yogurt and scale down the onion a bit the next time I make it.,This was too much veggie and too less yoghurt than what raita usually has. I had to make alot of alteration to make it fine to suit the way we have raita. used 1 1/2 cups yoghurt(beaten), omitted the garlic, used 1 cucumber(unpeeled and chopped into quarters), 1 small onion(sliced), 2 tbsps. fresh mint leaves(chopped), 1/2 tsp. black pepper,1/2 tsp. red chilli powder and a little more than a pinch of salt. I garnished this with 1/2 a tbsp. of fresh corriander leaves(finely chopped) and about 1/8 tsp. of cumin powder. This went well with dal and rice. I’m sorry about only giving 3 stars, but I’m just being honest with my review. I hope you won’t be disheartened and upset with me.
