That's goodtoknow...
A cooling cucumber raita is the perfect side dish to serve with curry. Mix together 250ml/8fl oz natural yogurt, 1/2 cucumber, grated or finely chopped, a large handful of chopped mint leaves and a pinch of salt. If grating the cucumber, squeeze out a little of the water before mixing with the other ingredients. Make the day before, if possible, and serve well-chilled with crisp poppadoms and mango chutney.
