Indian Raita (Cucumber Mix)

Deantini's Note:

The mixture is served chilled. Raita has a cooling effect on the palate that makes it a good choice along with spicy foods such as currys. Raita is also eaten with kebabs.

This raita went together easily and was quite tasty. My only change was using Greek yogurt. The next time I make this I would toast the cumin seed to bring out more of the flavor. Made for 123

Very tasty raita, and a perfect addition to my Indian banquet. I diced the cucumber small and used ground cumin, as that is what I had on hand.
