Cucumber Raita Sauce

Serves 6

Preparation: 10 mins

This is an unusual and rather good accompaniment to Slow Cooked Lamb and compliments the combined flavours.

To turn this into Cucumber Raita Sauce, simply add the cucumber - a fresh and crunchy accompaniment

to eating lightly poached fish in butter and lemon.

Also delicious served with Roast Aubergine with Halloumi and Saffron Rice with Barberries
