Raita Indian Style Cucumber And Mango Dip Recipe

	Uk2nyc / All my dishes 1 year, 9 months ago This is a tasty dip with Pitas or a Biryani. Quick to prepare and will stay in the fridge for a couple of days. The use of Mango is optional in this dish, as the authentic dish does not contain mango. I love mango :). This goes great with Tikka's and Tandoori's as well. ... More Prep:15m Servings:4	Uk2nyc

Ingredients

2 Peeled and finely chopped and diced Cucumbers

1 Mango finely chopped and diced ( i like a medium ripe mango thats not too mushy, but a ripe mango works great too if you like the sweet flavour)

1/2 cup of yogurt

1/2 cup of Sour cream

1 Finely chopped and diced onion

1 finely copped and diced tomato

1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro

1-3 green chillies, seeded and finely chopped ( add more or less according to your tolerance)

1 tbs cumin seeds

1/4 tbs chaat masala ( optional, but i like to use it. You can get it at a indian grocery store) or you can use dry mango powder.

Salt to taste

Directions

* If you don't feel like doing all the chopping, GRATING your larger ingredients works very well too.

In a non reactive mixing bowl add your yogurt and sour cream.

Mix well

Heat a small frying pan and when hot, toast the cumin seeds until they release aroma and are slightly singed ( dont burn them please)

Add the roasted cumin seeds and the remaining ingredients to the yogurt mix.

WASH your hands CLEAN :)

Using your primary hand, mush the ingredients together for a good 3-4 mins

This lets all the flavors intermingle

Let it sit in the fridge for about 30 mins

Serve and enjoy, its a very cooling and soothing dish

I enjoy raitas, but usually end up making the same old stand-by. I've never heard of using mango in a cucumber -and-yogurt raita, but it does make perfect sense! A great recipe, with thanks, UK2NYC :)
