I made the cucumber version and it was delicious! Next time I would chop the cucumber for a shorter time to keep it a bit chunkier.
Lovely accompaniment to the Chicken Tikka Masala we had tonight (I made cucumber raita). I put my TM in the dishwasher after blitzing the cucumber so I did the rest by hand, and I forgot to rinse the cucumber or pat it dry with paper towel but it still worked out really well
Thanks for an easy-to-follow recipe.
I made cucumber and mint. It worked really well, had it with a beef madras curry and chapati. Yum!
The reason I put 30 min down to prepare this yummy side dish is because you have to let the cucumber drain for 20 minutes. Overall it only takes a short time to prepare when the cucumber is drained. Enjoy.
