About This Dish
Cucumber Salad (Kheera Raita) is India's essential cooling side dish — crisp diced cucumber folded into creamy whisked yogurt, seasoned with roasted cumin, fresh mint, and a hint of black salt.
It's the perfect antidote to spicy curries, acting as a palate cleanser and coolant between bites. At SPICE ROOM, we prepare it fresh for each order with thick, creamy yogurt and garden-fresh cucumbers. It's an essential part of any Indian thali (combo platter) and a must-order if you're trying dishes with higher spice levels.
