Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 lg Cucumber
3 tb Sesame oil
1 t Black mustard seeds
1 t Urad dal, white
1/2 ts Methi (fenugreek)
2 Dried red chillies
1/2 tb Tamcon paste
1 pn Hing
Salt -- to taste

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.
