Cucumber Raita

This is a salad I usually make to accompany Pulao or even Vatta-Kozhambu Sadam.
It has a cooling effect because of the curds and the cucumber.

Ingredients:

  1. Cucumber - 1
  2. Curds - 200 ml
  3. Green chillies - 2 or 3 
  4. Oil - 2 tsp.
  5. Mustard seeds - 1 tsp.
  6. Curry leaves - 1 sprig
  7. Coriander leaves - for garnishing
Procedure:
  1. Cut the ends of the cucumber, peel it and grate it. You can also finely chop it alternatively.
  2. Add the cucumber to the curds and add salt as per taste.
  3. In a small kadai, heat oil, add mustard seeds. After the mustard splutters, add slit green chillies and chopped curry leaves. Season the Raita with this.
  4. Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.
