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.

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.
