How do you make raita?
I like to add yogurt to mix in the ratio as 2: 1, so if I use 2 cups of yogurt, I’ll add a cup of the mix that can include for raita ingredients mixed spinach, banana, fruit (pineapple, mango, and apple) or mint.
It is not compatible for raita because that mixer will be creamy, not super thick but it is extra thick when you give a nice amount of mixed-in in each bite.
This is true of everything that all these things add and blended, and then add mint leaves. But after mix mint leaves the quantity remains the same.
A quick and easy Indian Cucumber Raita is one of the most popular side dishes or use as the salad in Indian restaurants. Most popular recipes you find are the ability to cool off with a sauce made of pumpkin or cucumber and yogurt, a popular alternative.
Indian cooking leans widely on Chilis, spices, ginger, and garlic. Although most recipes have added cream to lighten the taste, they still taste so brave that many restaurants supply sweet drinks like mango lassi to calm the palates of the customers.

Can you grate the cucumbers?
Yes, I go for a minced cucumber in this recipe, but many raitas have fried cucumbers that are extracting excess water before adding to the raita. It helps to store the raita for a long time in the freeze to eliminate the separation of the curd from the cucumbers.
