Cucumber Yoghurt Salad with Nigella

From Spice by Christine Manfield page 80


Very much like a raita but better than the versions I've put together before.

Previously when I've made something similar I've gone pretty heavy on the garlic and lemon. Still a good result I think but with this recipe there was no strong seasonings and the balance of flavour was fantastic.

I tried to make the point of chopping the cucumber as finely as possible (without turning it into mash) and the results worked really well.



Still had texture but fine enough not to get in the way.

Perfect for anything with lamb...
