Pahadi-Style Cucumber Raita Recipe: The Delicious And Effective Way To Shed Kilos

Summer is all about indulging in cooling foods. While the monsoon showers have helped bring some respite from the heat, the humidity in the air still makes us want to indulge in something refreshing. Cooling summer treats such as ice cream and sugary drinks may sound like a tempting option, but the fact that they are loaded with sugar makes them quite unhealthy. For people who are trying to lose weight, healthy and cooling foods such as curd make for a great option. It helps cool you down from within and does not contribute to weight gain. Now, we understand that having plain curd can be quite boring, which is why you must experiment with it. Here we bring you a refreshing pahadi-style cucumber raita recipe that you'll absolutely fall in love with.

About Pahadi-Style Cucumber Raita:

We've all tried cucumber raita at some point, but this Pahadi-style version of it is quite unique. Wondering what makes it so unique? Well, the answer lies in the mustard seeds that are added to it. The seeds give the raita an interesting flavour that makes it stand out. This raita is quite popular in the Kumaoni region of Uttarakhand. Some people also refer to it as Kumaoni raita locally. It is super refreshing and a must-have accompaniment to everyday meals.

Is Pahadi-Style Cucumber Raita Good For Weight Loss?

We all know that curd is a rich source of probiotics, which makes it great for digestion. And this pahadi-style cucumber raita is no different. It helps in better digestion of food, which prevents the accumulation of fat, thus making it great for weight loss. While raita in itself is quite cooling, the addition of cucumber makes it even more refreshing. It'll help you stay full and also prevent binge eating.

Pahadi-Style Cucumber Raita Recipe: How To Make Pahadi-Style Cucumber Raita

To make this raita, you need yoghurt, cucumber, coriander leaves, cumin powder, haldi, garlic, green chillies, salt, and mustard seeds.
