Vegetarian Cucumber Raita

More vegetarian Indian food that I haven't tried. From "The Higher Taste" cookbook.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  cup yogurt
• 1⁄2 cup water
• 1  large cucumber (peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds)
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1⁄4 cup coriander leaves

Directions

1. The best cumin powder to use for a raita is dry roasted. If you can take the time (5 minutes), bake the cumin seeds until they are a little dark and then grind them in a spice grinder, or under a rolling pin.
2. In a bowl mix yogurt, water, salt and cayenne.
3. Add cucumbers to yogurt mixture.
4. Sprinkle cumin powder on top; garnish w/ coriander leaves.
