published Aug 30, 2023 Today’s cucumber raita recipe comes to us from the sensationally spiced world of Indian Cuisine. Bright, tangy yogurt, crisp cucumbers, and smoky cumin come together blissfully to produce this delectable gem. This cool, creamy condiment is perfect for adding balance to zesty, heavily spiced dishes. It has the unique ability to add flavor and richness while also lightening and cooling the flavors! Cucumber raita is also super versatile. It can be used as a dip, drizzle, side dish, appetizer, or snack. And honestly, I’m addicted. Since I made it the first time, I can’t make Indian food without whipping up a batch of the stuff (or my Onion Raita or Pineapple Raita). Luckily, it only takes 10 minutes and 4 simple ingredients to create. Get ready to elevate all your favorite dishes with this easy culinary treasure! If you are cruising for more Indian-themed condiments to have in your rotation, check out my Sweet and Spicy Tomato Chutney, Cranberry Apple Chutney, and this Pudina Chutney (Indian Mint Chutney). For a Middle Eastern treat, try my Cucumber Yogurt Salad (Mast o Khiar), too! Love this recipe? Share it with the world on Pinterest.
