Excellent raita. For the person who can not use cucumbers, try Armenian "cucumber" (Cucumis melo var. flexuosus. This actually a variety of muskmelon. I grow them in my garden and use them in any cucumber recipe -- including pickles. They're easier to grow and never get bitter.

Simple, tasty, perfect with curry. What could be better? (A cold beer to go with all, perhaps.

This is BAR NONE the very best raita we have ever had!! Made it with plain greek yogurt and it's perfect. I found it better to cut cukes length-wise in spears before grating....it leaves smaller shreds. And like others suggested squeeze the water out of the grated cuke before mixing with the yogurt. The longer shreds had an annoying mouth-feel and I prefer raita to not be ruuny. And the yellow RAISINS are absolutely necessary, it's tasteless otherwise.

Served it with tandoori chicken. Why don't I make this more often?

It was just okay. I didn't use the raisins and used the low-fat yogurt because I couldn't find any other kind. I might try again with better yogurt and pureed cucumber - texture was off. I added a touch of sugar that helped but still not perfect.

The raisins add a great sweetness to this salad. I serve it as a side and it is a real pleaser.

As a "cooling" side dish with a spicy main dish, this is really gently refreshing . I think it may be a bit tame for use just as a dip - but for those who prefer less bite, it could work. Thank you Aarti!

It made the curry dish I served it with better and was delicious alone, too.

very yummy. I used as both a 'cooling' dip for curry dishes, and as its own dish!
