Method

Toast the cumin seeds in a dry pan until fragrant, then crush — toasted whole seeds taste twice as loud as pre-ground.
Grate the cucumber and squeeze it firmly in your fist over the sink; watery raita is a rookie tell.
Stir everything together and chill 20 minutes. Finish with a pinch of the cumin on top.
