Ingredients
Instructions
Whisk 1 cup of plain yogurt until completely smooth and set aside.
Grate 1 medium cucumber (about 1 cup grated). Alternatively, finely dice 1 medium cucumber.
Grated cucumber is preferred for enhanced flavor.
In a spice grinder or blender, grind 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds into a fine powder.
Gently combine the yogurt, grated cucumber, and mustard seed powder in a bowl. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
This allows the mustard to infuse its flavor into the yogurt and cucumber.
A few minutes before serving, add salt to taste, starting with ½ teaspoon and adjusting as needed.
Taste and adjust salt as necessary.
Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and serve chilled. Enjoy!
