Cucumber Raita in Marathi
Serves: 2 to 3 persons
Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup finely chopped cucumber (Peeled)
3/4 cup plain yogurt, well beaten
1 green chili, finely chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
1 tsp ghee
2 pinches cumin seeds
salt to taste
Method:
1) Mix cucumber and yogurt. Crush green chili with little salt. Add it to cucumber-yogurt mixture and mix.
2) Heat ghee in a tadka pan. Add cumin and wait till it crackles. Add this to cucumber raita.
3) Add cilantro and some salt if needed. Mix nicely. Serve as a side dish.
Tips:
1) To make raita more spicy, add little more green chili.
