INSTRUCTIONS
Peel cucumber, slit into half, scoop out seeds. Slit into further narrow
strips and cut tiny pieces as for kachumbar. Should not be grated as this
gives no 'bite' feel in the mouth.
Next, warm the oil and fry all ingredients except the tamarind. Mustard
should stop spluttering and dal/methi should turn brown. Drain out these
fried spices into a blender, leaving oil behind in pan.
Add cucumber and stir fry for two minutes, no more.
Add tamcon to spices in blender and with half the cucumber run on low speed
till everything looks coarsely ground and blended. Remove into a bowl, add
remaining cucumber pieces and mix well.
