My fave of all the raitas to have with Pulao, Biryani etc. Looks yum. I don't grate the cucumber but always cube. Well...I am on liquid diet whole day today, so let me not look at solid food today! :D

Cucumber and dahi are the first 2 things I think of in raita. I like your addition of rai powder, I like its taste, but hadnt tried in this before. So cooling that pic looks.
