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.
2) Do not add all yogurt at once. Add little and mix. Once you get perfect consistency, stop adding more. OR if you like yogurt-y taste, add more than given amount.
