Method
Grate the cucumber, then gently squeeze out any excess water.
Add the yogurt to a bowl with the cucumber, coriander, mint, cumin, salt, pepper, and lime or lemon juice if using.
Mix until creamy and combined.
Taste and adjust with more salt, cumin, herbs, or lime.
Chill for 10–15 minutes before serving for the best flavour.
notes
For extra flavour, toast whole cumin seeds in a dry pan for 1–2 minutes, then crush them and stir through the raita.
