LOVED this! Used new little cucumbers from my garden and made just as directed. This was so refreshing and delicious served with the Grilled Indian-Style Curry Yogurt Chicken (Food.com #466540). Can't wait to make it again! Thanks.

Very good! I peeled and seeded the cucumber, and let it "weep" between paper towels before mixing it into the yoghurt, and threw in some fresh basil. Served over chana masala (chickpea curry) with naan bread.

Outstanding! We all loved this recipe, made it as written and was not disappointed. I really enjoyed the fresh mint and ginger coming through the yoghurt. This makes a Perfect accompaniment to any Indian recipe. Thank you Aaliyah&Aaron's mum
