📋Tips & FAQ's
Can I make this Cucumber Raita ahead of time?
No. It's not a great "meal prep" dish. This recipe is best fresh because it tends to get watery after 24 hours.
It's still fine to eat once the cucumbers start sweating, just mix it up again to redistribute the moisture. But it's just not as fresh and tasty.
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:
- Chimichurri Chicken
- Sausage Meatzza
- Cuban Vodu Pork
- Mexican Roadside Roasted Chicken
- Low Carb Cheeseburgerito's
- Tandoori Chicken
