Cucumber & Red Capsicum Raita

Raita is the easiest side dish made with yogurt & i can never imagine relishing biryani or stuffed parathas without raita :) Raita has a cooling effect after the heavy meals & raita don't need any measurements just throw in a few ingredients into the curds mix that's all....
This capsicum raita tastes different from normal raita,gives a crunch to this raita & looks gr8 isn't ? lovely color :) 
  

Ingredients:

• 1 cup thick curd.
• 1/2 cucumber.
• 1/2 onion or a small size onion.
• 2 green chilies slit it.
• 1/4 cup red capsicum.
• A dash of pepper powder, roasted jeera/cumin powder
• Salt to taste.
• Few chopped finely coriander leaves.

Method :

• Wash & cut capsicum,cucumber & onions in bite size. 
• If you don't like raw capsicum then microwave it for 10 sec.
• In a bowl add the curds whisk it well, add all the ingredients ( reserve a few capsicum,coriander leaves for garnishing) & mix well & keep aside for 1/2 an hr.
