Method

Step 1

Toss cucumbers with 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt in a medium bowl to combine. Let stand until additional liquid draws out, 10 mins.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once shimmering, add cumin and mustard seeds. Cook, stirring often, until mustard seeds begin to pop, 2 to 3 mins. Remove from heat and immediately stir in red pepper flakes and paprika. Set aside.

Step 3

Carefully pour off excess liquid from cucumbers, if needed, then scrape into a clean kitchen towel. Wring out to remove as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a clean medium bowl, then add yogurt, cilantro, garlic, and lemon juice, stirring to combine fully. Stir in the remaining 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt.

Step 4

To serve, scrape raita into a serving bowl. Drizzle over half of the oil mixture, then lightly swirl using the back of a spoon. Drizzle over the remaining oil mixture. Garnish with additional slices of cucumber and cilantro. Serve immediately with naan or roti.
