Raita
This simple, cooling yogurt "salad" is wonderful served with flatbread and grilled meats.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain yogurt, preferably Greek-style
- 1 large cucumber, peeled, seeds removed, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Pinch sugar
- Pinch cayenne, or to taste
Directions
Place the yogurt in a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl and drain for 1 hour. Discard the liquid in the bowl. (Note: if you use Greek-style yogurt, you can skip this step.)
Place the drained yogurt in a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well to combine. Place, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 hour to cool and blend. Stir well and serve.
