Cucumber Raita

1. 1

   Dice the cucumber, leaving the skins on, into 1/2 inch cubes. Sprinkle liberally with kosher salt and allow to sit for at least 15 minutes. (Toss after about five minutes.)

2. 2

   In a bowl that's large enough to hold the raita, combine the remaining ingredients and stir well.

3. 3

   I usually cut the tomatoes, even if very small, in two, to allow their juices to flavor the raita. That is optional, however.

4. 4

   When the cucumbers have sat for at least 15 minutes - you do this to draw out their juices - add them and all the juices to the bowl with the other ingredients.

5. 5

   Toss to combine. Allow to sit for another few minutes, then check for salt and pepper, and correct if necessary.

6. 6

   Stir gently again, just before serving.

7. 7

   Enjoy!!
