This is a very cooling sauce to go with spicy curries and other hot and piquant dishes. Try spooning it over your rice or dipping pieces of chapatis into it. Very good! Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups plain nonfat yogurt |
6 green onions, thinly sliced |
1 -3 fresh green chili, seeded and finely chopped |
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro (to garnish) |
salt |
Directions:
1. Place the cucumber into a sieve and sprinkle with salt and mix well, allow it to set over a sink or other place to drain for half an hour or so.
2. Pat the cucumbers dry with paper toweling.
3. Mix the yogurt in a bowl with enough salt to taste and add cucumber, green onions, and the chopped chilies and mix well.
4. Top with a few thin slices of cucumber and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve.
5. If not serving immediately, refrigerate until needed.
