I've made this raita several times now and it's always a winner. It's the perfect summer dish, and it's also a great way to cool down after a spicy meal.

This raita is a great way to use up leftover cucumber. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love it!

I'm not usually a fan of raita, but this one is amazing! The cucumber and mint are so refreshing, and the yogurt sauce is perfectly tangy. I could eat this every day.
