Cucumber and Radish Raita image

This can be spicy or not, depending on what you are serving it with and your taste for heat. Cucumber raita (without the radishes) is a classic accompaniment to curries, but I like it on its own and spooned over grains. It's also very nice with salmon.

I'm not a big fan of yogurt, but I really enjoyed this raita. The cucumber and radish help to balance out the tanginess of the yogurt.
