Cucumber Carrot Raita

It is a simple and easy raita which can be served as biryani / pulav/ fried rice/ parato… This is a cooling, healthy and delicious raita that makes a perfect accompaniment to any Indian meal. You can make it ahead and keep in refrigerator till you are ready to serve. I have added fried nuts. It gives great taste.
