Bowl

Whisk

Start by washing and chopping the cucumbers into a medium sized dice or to your liking and set them aside.

Make the garlic paste by crushing the garlic with the salt. I like to do this using a mortar and pestle.

Add the yogurt to a large bowl and whisk until the yogurt is smooth.

To the yogurt, add the crushed garlic (with the salt), and dried mint. Whisk until combined. Add the chopped cucumbers and mix well.

If the yogurt is too thick you can add a bit of water to thin it down, start with a 1/4 cup and mix well.
