Raita with cucumber
This yogurt condiment can be used as a dip or an accompaniment to entrees. Yogurt is inherently cooling, providing the calm to warming season.
In general, yogurt should not be consumed at night because of its heavy, dense, cloudy, and cooling nature.
However, counteracting these qualities will make digesting yogurt at night a breeze.
Cucumber makes this dish devine.
