This is a great recipe (incredible simple) to jazz up your Indian home cooked or Takeaway food. A fabulous contrast/side order to something hot & spicy the combination of yogurt and cucumber is really refreshing:

Peel your Cucumber and use your hands to squash it into a bowl, remove liquid if there is alot
Add a half tub of natural yogurt
Add a sprinkling of salt and pepper
A squeeze of lemon (optional)

Mix together really well with a fork
Put it in the fridge for 1 hour so the flavours amalgamate, just because it was so simple I was reluctant to try it� I am glad I did

A classic Raita....

you can also create a Lassi - yoghurt drink - by diluting the yoghurt with milk, adding crushed ice cubes, crushed cumin seeds, mint and salt to taste....

Create a sweet version (much better at counteracting the really hot curries) with fruit pulp (like mango or pear...) and honey instead of the salt....

Wow, I love simple stuff.... how do you serve it? what with?
