From Cardamom & Coriander by Simon Morris. From the start I'm wary of chilled soups but I love Indian food and this looks like raita for an appetizer. Yum. Maybe this will be the soup that changes my heart. Cooking time does not include chilling. Ingredients:
8 ounces cucumbers, seeded and diced |
1 pint yogurt, plain (greek yogurt is ideal) |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
6 sprigs mint |
6 sprigs cilantro |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1 teaspoon cumin seed, roasted and ground |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Place cucumber in blender. Add the yogurt. Add remaining ingredients and process until smooth.
2. Chill at least 2-4 hours or overnight.
