Cucumber salad with yogurt

Cucumber  salad with yogurt
Cucumber  salad with yogurt 

This is a popular salad in India. This salad is made with yogurt and served with rice or chapatti. Today I am using Japanese cucumber to make this salad. We can use English cucumber as well and use the same ingredients. Cucumber salad can be made with other ingredients too without yogurt. This salad  is a good accompaniment to spicy rice. I have introduced vegetable rice with spices and yogurt. we just had this rice with only the cucumber salad. I hope you too will enjoy it.
