This is a recipe for an easy and authentic Cucumber Raita, a cool and refreshing yogurt salad that pairs perfectly with biryani, pulao, and many other Pakistani and Indian dishes.
Whisk the yogurt, milk, salt, and spice powders in a medium bowl.
Stir in the vegetables and cilantro or mint, reserving some for garnish. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
Tightly cover or place in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro or mint and serve. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.
Notes
*Peeled if desired (see notes within text). **If the tomato has excess pulp, remove and reserve it for other use.
