A yougurt-cucumber sauce served with Indian food, and for dipping. Excellent with naan bread

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups plain yogurt (european or greek)
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup peeled grated & seeded cucumber, drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander or cilantro leaf
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (to garnish) (optional)

Directions

1
Place all ingredients in a bowl. It may be easier to warm the honey, as it is easier to blend with the other ingredients. Make sure the cucumber is drained well, otherwise your raita will be too watery. Mix well, and add to serving bowl.
2
Sprinkle cumin over the top.
3
Serve on top or on the side of your favorite Indian dish, or serve as a dipping sauce with naan bread.

This was sooo good! Maybe next time I will put a little less honey in it, just a preference. This went well with so many dishes. I'm definitely making it again.

I wasn't sure about the honey, but it turns out that cumin and honey are a great combination.

I used fresh cilantro since fresh corriander wasn't available, and used the cumin also. I liked the taste of the cilantro and cumin together with the cucumber and yogurt. I served it with Pan-seared Tilapia with Chili Lime Butter #109163 and Curried Rice with Raisins, Apricots and Almonds #39473.
