Instructions
Salt The Cucumbers: Sprinkle cucumbers with salt, toss to coat, place in a colander over a plate. Let sit 30 minutes then drain excess water. Meanwhile, combine onions and garlic in a small nonreactive bowl, cover with vinegar, and set aside for 10 to 30 minutes.
Blend The Raita Ingredients: Combine cucumber, onion mixture, and all remaining ingredients except scallions and radishes in a blender or food processor (you may have to do this in batches). Process on high until very well blended and smooth, and aerated, about 5 minutes. Pass mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a nonreactive bowl.
Refrigerate Then Serve: Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 30 minutes. Before serving, whisk, taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve topped with scallions and radishes.
