Raita is a yoghurt based accompaniment usually mixed with raw veggies.Different kinds are made in india. The plain raita is ideal with pulav or biryani. But, this kind tastes good with plain hot rice. Add a little ghee, if you are not calorie conscious.

Different veggies such as snake gourd, capsicum, green leafy vegetable like spinach can be used here. The other veggies need to  be cooked, here no cooking is involved as cucumber can be eaten raw. Thus, it is just a matter of ten minutes to prepare it.

Cucumber Raita is my favorite, so cooling and during the hot season love to enjoy it on its own as a meal. Like your idea of adding coconut too.
