Cucumber Raita recipe | Kheera Raita recipe. A step-by-step picture recipe.A popular Raita recipe that gives company to vegetarian and non-vegetarian delights. Like our very own Mutton Biryani, Paneer Dum Biryani in the Oven, Paneer Biryani, Chicken Biryani, and Kali Mirch Pilaf. 

 

Cucumber raita recipe

It’s a Desi version of the Mediterranean dish  Tzatziki. Which is made with greek yoghurt mixed with garlic, mint, salt and pepper topped with some lemon juice. And in Cucumber Raita, we used normal yoghurt. Garlic is optional. Normally, it’s not added. But, it is a personal choice.
