Instructions: Grate zucchini on largest holes of a four-sided grater. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water blanch zucchini 1 minute. Immediately drain zucchini in a sieve and rinse under cold running water to stop cooking.

Squeeze zucchini dry by small handfuls and transfer to a bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients, adding enough milk to reach desired consistency.

Raita may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Serve raita at cool temperature.

Yield: 2 1/2 cups
