This refreshing yogurt dip combines the coolness of cucumber with the zest of mint, perfect for a light snack or side dish.
Grate the cucumber into a mixing bowl.
Squeeze out excess water from the grated cucumber to prevent the dip from becoming too watery.
Chop the mint leaves finely and add them to the bowl.
Use a sharp knife to chop the mint leaves to retain their fresh aroma.
Add the yogurt, cumin powder, red chili powder, sugar, and salt to the bowl.
Mix the ingredients gently to maintain a smooth texture.
Stir everything together until well combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more harmonious taste.
Serve the dip chilled as a side dish or snack.
Garnish with a sprig of mint or a sprinkle of chili powder for a decorative touch.
