How to Make Cucumber Raita - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. Cucumber raita is one of the most popular dishes in Indian cuisine, and it is so easy to make, so healthy, so delicious and so quick. To make cucumber raita you start with some plain yogurt, which I am going to put right into my bowl. Your yogurt can be homemade or you can buy it in a store. I am just going to stir it till it is quite smooth. I am going to add some peeled, grated cucumber right into my yogurt. And I have some chopped mint, which goes really well with the yogurt and the cucumbers. I am going to add that. I am just going to stir it up until it is smooth. A nd now I am going to do the spicing. So I am going to add a little bit of salt. And because this recipe is not cooked, it is just a fresh salad condiment type of thing, I am going to add toasted cumins because they are already cooked. So whole toasted cumin seed that has been ground up goes in here. And there you have it, cucumber raita that is super easy, super delicious and super healthy.
