Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the cucumber thoroughly.
- Peel the cucumber if desired. This step is optional based on your preference.
- Grate the cucumber using a medium-sized grater.
- Place the grated cucumber in a clean cloth or paper towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This helps prevent the yoghurt from becoming too watery.

- Stir the mixture well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You may add a pinch of salt or pepper to taste.
- For best results, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Serve the coriander and mint yoghurt as a dip with vegetables, bread, or as a sauce alongside your favorite dishes.
Tips:
- Use a fine grater or food processor to finely chop the cucumber, ensuring a smooth texture in the final mixture.
- Draining excess water from the cucumber can help prevent the yoghurt from becoming too watery. Simply place the grated cucumber in a clean cloth or paper towel and squeeze gently.
- For a more intense flavor, let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Feel free to adjust the proportions of mint and coriander according to your taste preferences.
- Add a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil for an extra layer of flavor.
