Preparation

Step 1

After chopping the cucumber, place it on a lint-free kitchen towel for 10 minutes to allow some of the moisture to drain.
Combine the cucumber, yogurt and lemon juice in a small bowl. Add either the mint or the coriander and cumin. Stir to combine.

Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to two days.

Note: The water from the cucumber might cause some separation, but stir to combine and you're ready to eat.
