WORLD'S BEST RAITA

World's Best Raita image

My family has been making raita this way for as long as I can remember. It's simple and delicious. The trick is to use mustard seeds instead of cumin. The mustard gives it a kick, but if you want you can reduce it. Yummy!!!

Categories Low Protein

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

3 cups yogurt
4 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 baby cucumber
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

Whisk yogurt until smooth and set aside.
Grate or dice cucumber. I think grated cucumbers enhance the flavor.
In a spice grinder or blender crush the mustard seeds into a powder consistency.
Combine yogurt, cucumber, and mustard seeds and set aside for 30 minutes. This lets the flavors blend in and the mustard can do its job.
A few minutes before you are ready to serve add the salt. Adjust salt according to your needs. Enjoy!
