Steps:
- Rinse cucumber and peel it. Chop to tiny bite size pieces (about ¼ to ½ inch). If you prefer you may even grate it. Grated cucumbers let out moisture so make sure you use only greek yogurt if you want to grate them. Otherwise cucumber raita becomes runny.
- Also fine chop coriander and mint leaves (optional).
- Deseed the green chilli and chop. (optional)
- Whisk chilled yogurt in a large mixing bowl.
- Add chopped cucumber, green chilies, coriander leaves, mint leaves and salt. Mix all of them.
- Taste test and add more salt if needed. Drizzle cumin powder, ground black pepper & chaat masala (optional).
- Serve cucumber raita as a side in an Indian meal. It is usually eaten with Vegetable biryani or chicken biryani.
- Cucumber raita is best served fresh but can be chilled for a few hours.

Serve this cool, refreshing salad with my Lamb Tagine and Moroccan Couscous on this site. Make the salad early in the day and keep in the refrigerator to let the flavors blend and intensify. Add more mint to taste, but do not substitute dried mint; the flavor is just not the same.
