Ingredients

Salt and pepper

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1 (about 3 pounds) chicken, cut-up

1 (about 3/4 pound) cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped

1/4 cup whole-milk plain yogurt

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or parsley

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Preparation

Preheat the broiler. In a small bowl, mix 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cinnamon. Sprinkle on the chicken. Put chicken, skin side down, on a broiler pan, and broil about 6 inches from the heat for 15 minutes. Turn chicken, and broil until skin is crisp and brown, about 15 minutes more.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together cucumber, yogurt, sour cream, cilantro, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve chicken hot, with raita on the side.
