POTATO, CUCUMBER AND TOMATO RAITA

Potato, Cucumber and Tomato Raita image

Categories Condiment/Spread Sauce Potato Tomato Vegetable Yogurt Cucumber Summer Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 large red-skinned potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 jalapeño chilies, seeded, chopped
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
3 cups low-fat (do not use nonfat) plain yogurt
1 English hothouse cucumber, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 large tomatoes, seeded, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 8 minutes. Drain potatoes well. Transfer potatoes to large bowl and cool.
Heat vegetable oil in heavy medium skillet over high heat. Add chopped onion and stir until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add chopped jalapeño chilies and stir until beginning to soften, about 1 minute. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds and stir until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Immediately pour onion mixture over potatoes and stir to coat. Mix in low-fat yogurt, cucumber and tomatoes. Season raita to taste with salt and pepper. Cover tightly and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours. (Raita can be prepared up to 6 hours ahead. Keep refrigerate.) Garnish raita with fresh cilantro leaves and serve.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp cucumbers and carrots. If your cucumbers are bitter, peel them before using.
To make the raita ahead of time, simply prepare it according to the recipe and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
You can also add other vegetables to this salad, such as chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, or onions.
If you want a spicier raita, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red chili powder.
Serve raita with your favorite Indian dishes, such as tandoori chicken, grilled fish, or vegetable curry.

Cucumber carrot salad raita is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious way to cool down, give this raita a try!
