Cucumber & Tomato Raita

One food that I always see at an Indian Food Buffet is Raita, it is a condiment of sorts in that it is often served with meals as a way to cleanse the pallet and cut the heat down on the main entree. I decided to serve the raita with the Tandoori Chicken that I made tonight and it was a wonderful accompaniment.

Cucumber & Tomato Raita: Serves 4

1C Cucumber Diced
1C Tomato Diced (Roma is best)
12oz Fage 0% Greek Yogurt
1/2tsp Cumin
1/4tsp Tumeric
1-2 Garlic Cloves - Minced
Salt & Pepper

Mix all ingredients together and place in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours before serving. This allows all of the flavors to mix together. Serve with any dish that you want a nice refreshing cool element with.
