Cucumber Raita

#7 Amma's Recipe

I love raitas. There was a time I had onion raita with absolutely everything I ate. Then I started adding chopped cucumbers, carrots and coriander to the raita. And Then came the onions with salt & lemon sans the yogurt. And now I going crazy over this famous CUCUMBER RAITA...so cooling and refreshing for this hot hot summer. I know many of you love this!
