CUCMBERS RAITA

Ingredients:

2 pints thick yogurt
1/2 bunch cilantro leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 lemon, juiced
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped mint leaves
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Preparation:

Put the yogurt, cilantro, cumin, lemon juice, and salt and pepper, to taste, into a blender and puree until the mixture is smooth and green. Pour it into a bowl and fold in the cucumber and mint. Refrigerate at least 1/2 hour before serving to allow the flavors to develop. Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving and drizzle with a little olive oil.
