Now it is the season of cucumber and we are preparing a number of dishes using this #veggie which has lots of water content. This is most widely used in salads and eaten raw.

2. Coconut – 1/4
3. Salt – to taste
4. Oil – 2tsp
5. Mustard -1/2tsp
6. Curry leaves
7. Urad dal -1/2tsp
8. Hing – pinch
9. Red chilly -1
10. Green chilly -1
11. ginger – small piece

Taushe Ulal / Cucumber Salad
  •  Cut cucumber into very tiny pieces. If it is a mature one you may remove skin n seeds as they might be bitter. Tender ones will be a little sweet.
  •  Also finely chop a small piece of ginger and 1 green chilly.
  •  Grate 1/4 Coconut.
  •  Mix all the above and add salt to taste.
  •  Now prepare a tadka/tampering with oil, mustard, curry leaves, urad dal, hing and one red chilly.
  •  Add the tadka and mix well.
  • Preferably prepare this just before serving else cucumber will release water.
