Ingredients

Cool Yogurt - 1 cup
Cucumber - Cubed 1 cup
Mint powder - 1/2 tsp

Remove the seeds from the cucumber before you cube them. To make the mint powder at home dry the mint leaves and powder it coarsely. you can do this ahead of time and use when needed.

In a mixing bowl add cucumber , mint powder. Add the yogurt, salt and a little water and mix well. Add more water if you think the yogurt is still thick.
