     1/2  C             Cucumber
   1      Pt            Plain Yogurt
   1      Tsp           Salt
   1      Tsp           Paprika
   1      Tbsp          Fresh Chopped Mint

Take the cucumber and cut lengthways into long strips. This is the
traditional way of cutting for Raeta. You will sometimes come across Raeta
with the cucumber cut into cubes or large chunks but narrow strips is the
best way to use it as this ensures the yogurt can be easily mixed in with
the Raeta. Take the yogurt and with a fork beat in the salt and half the
paprika. Now gently combine the cucumber strips with the yogurt. Pour into
a serving bowl and sprinkle the remaining paprika and mint on the top, to
garnish. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours and serve.
