#CookWithoutFire - This is a very refreshing raita which can be had as a dip too. The cucumber can be either chopped finely or grated. It gives a very cooling effect to our system, especially during summers.

There are many variations to it. You can simply add coriander leaves, mint leaves, onion, tomato or anything appetizing along with some powdered spices like pepper, red chili powder, black salt, roasted cumin powder, etc. They are best enjoyed with biryani, either veg. or non-veg or as an accompaniment with some grilled delicacies.
