Rachel's Cucumber Raita

Ingredients

• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• water, for diluting
• 1/4 cup cilantro, crushed
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon coriander
• 1 cucumber

Directions

1. 1

   Wash the cucumber and shred it. You can use a food processor, or use a ginsu knife to chop the cuke sushi-fine, I prefer to use a veggie peeler because I have more control over the size of the pieces. Either way, the end result should have the same consistency as a storebought bag of shredded carrot.

2. 2

   Blend the yogurt with the lemon juice and mix well. Dilute with water so the mixture is runny, about the same consistency as heavy cream.

3. 3

   Stir the spices in well.

4. 4

   Stir in the shredded cucumber.
