Cucumber Raita / Cucumber in yogurt

Raitas are the best accompaniment to any dish, especially to biryanis, fried rice or pulavs. There are so many types of raitas made from so many dish ingredients. Its basically what you like and what tastes good put together in yogurt to form raita.
Since its made in yogurt, it good for your health too.
Here is present to you cucumber raita. I have previously posted onion raita. Its almost the same, just made with cucumber.
There are different ways you can make this....you can cut cucumber into small pieces or even shred or grate it! I have chosen to chop it into small pieces, I like it the chunky way. If you like tomato in your raita, go ahead and add it. I didnot add it in this recipe.
I like it simple, spicy and thick, not too runny!
I like to eat raita even with chapathi, roti or any type of parathas too. You can also add some grated carrot to it for color.

Ingredients:

1 cup of thick yogurt
1 big cucumber or 2 small ones, chopped or grated
1 small onion or 1/2 of big onion (red onion preferably), chopped
2 green chillies, chopped
1 tbsp of chopped coriander leaves
salt to taste
few drops of lemon juice

Method:

Mix all ingredients together with yogurt. If you like it little runny, add some water to it.
Add some lemon juice, so that it little bit soury! :)
