Cucumber Raita

Raita (perugu pachadi) is made with yogurt (curd). Raita can be eaten as salad and are usually served along with biryani, fried rice and pulao (pilaf). Raita can be made with most vegetables like onions, cucumber, carrots or leafy vegetables. I've already posted my version of onion raita. Today I am posting cucumber raita, a very healthy salad and good for cooling our system.
