IMG_9587

 

Ingredients:

  • Cucumber – 1 medium sized (Skinned, deseeded and chopped)
  • Grated Coconut – 1/4 C
  • Bedgi Red Chilli – 1 (pre-roasted in a little oil)
  • Green Chilli – 1
  • Ginger – a small piece roughly chopped (probably 1/2″)
  • Mustard seeds – 1 Tsp
  • Tamarind pulp – a smidge (store bought pulp is a concentrate so use sparingly)
  • Salt – as needed

Method:

  1. Skin, deseed and chop the cucumber add salt mix and keep aside.
  2. Grind the rest of ingredients to a paste adding mustard in the final grind.
  3. Add the ground masala to the chopped cucumber, adjust the salt as per taste.

Variation:

I have made this without tadka. Another variation is with tadka. For tadka heat a little coconut oil, add mustard seeds to splatter when hot. To this add 1 broken red chilli then add 1 sprig of curry leaves. Add this tadka to the preparation and mix properly.
