📋Tips & FAQ’s

Can I make this Cucumber Raita ahead of time?

Cut it in half if you won’t be able to finish it in less than a day.

What kind of meals does the Raita Recipe compliment?

Any spicy meal would be lucky to share a plate with this simple side. But, since this is an Indian dish, it goes particularly well with spicy Indian meals like Butter Chicken.

But this salad goes great with any of these as well:
