Cucumber Raita 1

Raita is a Yogurt Dip popularily eaten all over India along with the meals. It keeps your body cool during summers.
The best part about this Raita is that I haven't used any oil for the tempering.

1 medium sized Cucumber, grated

1 1/2 cup yogurt

1 green chilli, finely chopped

salt to taste

1/2 tsp mustard seeds

2 to 3 curry leaves

Beat the yogurt lightly so that no lumps remain. Add salt & cucumber & mix gently.

Heat a kadhai or pan without any oil. When hot add mustard seeds & curry leaves. When mustard crackles switch off the gas and add chopped green chilli & roast for a few seconds. Add the tempering to the yogurt. Serve chilled as a side dish.
