Indian food is known for its unique spices. Some of them are really hot, so to cool down the flavorings a bit, this traditional cucumber relish, called raita, is often served. It's usually made with grated cucumbers, but this way it's a bit easier - and still fresh and cooling. Ingredients:
3 large cucumbers |
1 small onion, grated (about 1/2 cup) |
2 cups plain yogurt |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped or 1 tablespoon dried mint |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon white pepper |
Directions:
1. Peel the cucumbers and slice in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and coarsely chop the cucumbers. Place in a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients; mix well. Serve immediately or cover and chill until ready to use.
