Tips & Tricks for Perfect Carrot Cucumber Raita

uJUMP TO RECIPE

For a smoother raita, strain the curd slightly before mixing. Use fresh, firm cucumber and carrot to avoid sogginess. Toast cumin powder lightly to boost aroma. Adjust the water based on desired thickness – less for thick raita, more for a drink-like version. You can add a dash of lemon juice for a tangy note or finely chopped green chilies for a spicy kick. Always serve it chilled for the best taste.
