India. Both of my parents have been to India more than a couple of times. It is my dream to serve and visit there. I love everything about India. One reason I do is because their cuisine is amazing.
I have grown up with this simple recipe. It is much like raita, but has more vegetables than a yogurt base. My Mother said she had a salad like this in India several times.
This salad flourishes with cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and yogurt. It is such a great combination with a spicy chicken or curry dish. The yogurt and the vegetables make this salad cool and refreshing especially while eating spicy dishes.
Indian Salad
8 persian cucumbers, diced
1/2 small red onion, minced
3 roma tomatoes, diced
plenty of cilantro, ripped into smaller pieces
yogurt
a dash of cumin
salt and pepper
Add together the cucumbers, onion, tomatoes, and cilantro in a bowl. Next, add the yogurt a spoonful at a time. You want the yogurt to really be there...coat the veggies really well. Add a little cumin and salt and pepper to taste.
