• 1 cucumber peeled, seeded and diced
• 1 tsp chopped cilantro
• 1 pinch red chilli powder(optional)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch coriander powder
• 1 cup indian or greek yogurt

If you are using regular store bought yogurt then make sure you drain it over a cheese cloth to drain all excess liquid

In a large bowl add in the cucumber, cilantro, chilli powder, salt and coriander powder.

In a seperate bowl beat the cup of yogurt with a spoon or fork to make creamy and remove any lumps. Add this creamy yogurt to the cucumber mixture and raita is done!

This simple quick dish goes great with a lot of dishes from curry, indian rice dishes, indian breads and many appetizers. Its a versatile resource to have.
