Bookmark this page
Ingredients
1 english cucumber, coarsely chopped (about 2 cups)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups whole-milk yogurt
½ cup finely chopped red onion
¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
⅛ a teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground cardamom
To make
This cool creamy seasoning is a must-have for making spicy Indian dishes. Whole-milk yogurt softens the taste and is suitable for more spicy dishes.
Place the cucumber in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Mix well; strain for 30 minutes. Rinse with cold water; drain. Arrange the cucumber on several layers of paper towels; cover with additional paper towels. Let stand for 5 minutes, pressing occasionally. Combine cucumber, yogurt, and other ingredients.
