Ingredients -
Dosakaya/Yellow Cucumber/Budamakaya finely chopped 1 1/2 cups
Tomato chopped 1/2 cup
Tamarind juice / Lemon juice 1 Tbsp or as needed
Turmeric 1/4 tsp
Salt as needed
Green Chillies 3-4 or as needed
Coriander leaves handful
Seasoning (Oil 2 tsp, Chana Dal 1 tsp, Urad Dal 1 tsp, Methi Seeds 7-8, Jeera 1/2 tsp, Mustard seeds 1 tsp, Hing couple pinches, Red chilli 1, Curry leaves 6-7)
Method Of Preparation -
Peel the cucumber and take the seeds out and finely chop the cucumber. In a mixing bowl, add the chopped cucumber and salt and turmeric. Set it aside.
Note - For people who don't prefer the addition of the seeds and the pulp which goes with it, grind the seeds and pulp along with the seasoning as indicated in the next step. Don't throw away the nutrient rich seeds. I used to throw away the seeds until I came to know the benefits of the seeds!
In a small sauce pan, add oil and the rest of the seasoning ingredients and after the mustard seeds crackle and the dals are brown, add the chopped green chillies, chopped tomatoes, coriander leaves, tamarind juice (if using) and switch off the flame. (The tomatoes need not get cooked).
After the seasoning cools down, grind it to a fine paste and pour in the mixing bowl with the chopped cucumbers. Mix well and serve over hot steaming rice and ghee!

First things First. Am not a big fan of Cucumbers. But today, I tried this Chutney. And My husband loved this Chutney a lot( He loves cucumbers). He liked the spice, the sourness from tamarind and the cucumbers in the grind ed pasted.
