Cucumber raita – vegetarian<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cucumber Raita is a spiced yoghurt with refreshening and cooling cucumber cubes, Easy to make like a Dip for veggies or on bread for lunch. Raitas like this one are a good balance to a very spicy curry dish. The recipe comes from Kerstin Rosenberg “Die Kochkunst des Ayurveda”, a compilation. Fresh, nicely spiced, delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect on the doshas:<\/strong> according to Ayurveda, yoghurt is not a good agni supporter and increases Kapha. But with the added spices this effect turn and Kapha can eat it, without exaggerations<\/p>\n\n\n\n
