Thanks Nisha for sharing this wonderful recipe of cucumber raita. This raita is also my favorite. As per my choice it is the best Indian condiment. It is truly delicious.

I make this raita in a slightly different manner. In 1 tsp hot oil, I splutter mustard seeds, cumin seeds and a few curry leaves, also add thinly sliced green chillies, then add this seasoning to cucumber cubes mixed in thick yogurt with some salt to taste.
