Equipment
- Thermomix Cutter or box grater
Ingredients
- ½ long telegraph cucumber
- 250 grams yogurt
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon
- ½ tsp caster sugar optional

Instructions
- Cut cucumber in half lengthways and using a teaspoon, scoop out the seeds. Grate the cucumber using the Thermomix cutter (I like to grate thickly for texture) or a box grater. Squeeze out excess water and add the cucumber to a bowl.
