Cucumber Raita / Zucchini Raita



Cucumber Raita , made of cucumber and yogurt goes well with rotis and parathas .
Zucchini Raita is made in a similar way, hence I am clubbing both in one recipe.

Just replace Cucumber with zucchini .

Here's the recipe for the same :

Ingredients :

  • Yogurt - 2 cups
  • Grated Cucumber or chopped zucchini- 1 cup
  • Green Chillies - 1-2
  • Roasted Cumin Seeds Powder - 1/4 tbsp
  • Black Pepper Powder - 1/4 tbsp
  • Chat Masala - 1/4 tsp ( optional )
  • Finely Chopped Cilantro - 1 tbsp
  • Salt - to taste

Directions:

  • Beat yogurt to get a smooth consistency.
  • Add salt, black pepper powder and mix well.
  • Peel the cucumber or zucchini and grate it or finely chop it (as you prefer ). Add this to the yogurt and mix well.
  • Add minced green chillies and sprinkle roasted cumin seeds powder over the raita.
  • I like to add little bit of chat masala, however this is optional.
  • Garnish with very finely chopped cilantro.

Enjoy !! :)
