Healthy Recipe: Raita is a part of Indian food that not only enhances the taste, but also helps in digestion. Although we all have eaten boondi, cucumber or onion raita, but today we have brought for you a special and unique recipe - Pahadi Cucumber Raita. It is very popular in hilly areas like Uttarakhand and Himachal and its taste will give you a completely different experience.

Pahadi Cucumber Raita is quite different from ordinary raita. The first specialty is the hill cucumber used in it, which is larger in size than normal cucumber, slightly sweet in taste and rich in nutrients. This cucumber cools the body and strengthens the digestive system.

The method of making this raita is also very easy. First of all, peel the hill cucumber and grate it well. After this, squeeze it lightly and remove excess water. Now take curd in a large bowl and beat it well so that it becomes absolutely smooth. Add grated cucumber to it. Add salt, roasted cumin powder, black pepper and a little chopped green chili according to taste. If you want, you can also add finely chopped mint leaves to it, which gives it a refreshing touch.

Another special thing that makes Pahadi Raita special is the mustard tadka added to it. Yes, when you heat some mustard oil and add mustard and asafoetida to it and add it to the raita, its taste changes completely. It gives a tangy flavor which is not found in ordinary raita. You can serve this raita with any Indian meal in lunch or dinner, be it puri-sabzi, parathas or dal-rice. It is not only tasty in taste, but it also cools the body in summer and is very beneficial for health. Apart from being good for digestion, it is also low in calories, which can make it a good option for those who want to control their weight, so definitely try this special raita. Believe me, everyone will not be able to stop praising its taste.
