Mixed Vegetable Raita/Thayir Pachadi

Summer is here officially, it is tough to stay inside with out Air-conditioning. Outdoors are very sweaty and not to mention the crazy climate over here, Morning it was dusty, hazy Sand-storm and evening it is raining like crazy!!!! So, these days a raita or simple chopped cucumbers are sure in our daily meal. Made this Raita for my Hubby's Lunch-box last week to go along with Roti and Side-dish. An Easy to make summer coolant. A Perfect combo to One-pot meals and Stuffed Parathas.

Ingredients

1 medium-sized cucumber

1 medium-sized carrot

1 medium-sized onion
1 medium-sized Tomato

1 green chilli, Chopped fine

1 teaspoon shredded ginger

½ Cup Yogurt

a pinch of red chilli powder

a pinch of cumin powder
few Coriander leaves for garnishing

Salt to taste

Method

Wash, Peel and chop Cucumber and Carrot thinly. Chop Onion and Tomato Finely. Take all the veggies in a bowl.
To this bowl, add chopped green chili, shredded ginger and mix well.

Whisk the Yogurt well, add it to the veggie bowl. Stir to combine. Refrigerate until use.
Add salt just before serving.

Notes

If packing this raita for lunch, make hung curd instead of yogurt. Take the yogurt in a strainer and leave it for an hour or two for all the whey to strain out. Then add the veggies n keep the salt separately.
You can Mix and Match your veggies here, the aim is to have Fresh/raw Veggies with all its Nutrients as such. You can even add Capsicum to this.
