"Saving this recipe from the Food Network Kitchens. Looks easy and tasty! Serving size is said to be 1/4 cup, but from my experience when eating with Indian friends, each person eats at least 1/2 cup of the raita!!!"

This was tasty and easy to make. I have tons of cucumbers, so I gave it a try. It wasn't particularly hot as the yogurt cooled the spice down a lot. Good on naan.
