what a perfect accompaniment to the chicken masala - no changes needed. and those that thought it had no flavor - you don't want something overpowering for the chicken masala.

I don't know where Aunt Sandy gets her hothouse cucumbers, but dicing a whole one with half a bell pepper in only 6oz of yogurt is ridiculous. This dip was all cucumber, and I refrained from using 1/3 of it. It was pretty flavorless, but very healthy considering I used nonfat yogurt. I could be good used as a dressing for pita or various sandwiches. It was not much a raita though.
