Ingredients

1 lbs Plain Yogurt (use low fat if desired)

1-1/2 cup grated summer squash ( I use bottle gourd, available at all Indian stores)

1 tsp salt or to taste

2 green cillies deseeded and cut into small pieces

1 tsp cumin seeds

1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper

1/2 cup cilantro finely hopped

1/2 cup green onion or chives finely chopped

1/2 lemon juice (optional)

1 small cucumber grated and squeezed

3 cups water

Directions

Bring water to a boil and add grated squash, let cook for 2-3 minutes, turn off heat let sit for 2 more minutes. Drain in a strainer, run under cold water. Set aside.

Roast cumin seeds about 2-3 minuts or until fragrant. Cool.

Beat yogurt lightly until smooth, add cumin seeds, and all the rest of the ingredients.

Sqeeze the water out of the boiled squash by pressing it between the palms of your hands or in a muslin cloth. Add to the yogurt mixture. Mix well. Let cool for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with green onions or chives and serve.

What a great dish! I really love squash but I would also like to try the grated cucumber version, too. I'll have to trade back and forth when I make it. =) I love your recipes...thanks so much!

What a lovely variation on cucumber raita -- especially for those of us who cannot get enough squash. Thank you for posting this -- I'll be eating this on nan or even chapatta. Yum.
