Cucumber Palya




This is a simple recipe. Really love the blend of cucumber and peanuts in this recipe. I think peanut do add a unique flavor to any recipe and also an extra crunch to this recipe. This palya can be served as a side dish to rice and dal, sambhar or rasam. Try it once and I am sure it will be a regular dish in you home.


Ingredients
Cucumbers - 3 large (peeled and chopped)
Peanuts - 3 tbsp roasted (grind coarsely)
Mustard seeds, Urad dal, channa dal, curry leaves, green chillies, cumin for seasoning
oil - 1 tbsp
turmeric
cilantro for garnishing

Method

Take oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, when they splutter add cumin, urad dal, channa dal when they turn brown add green chillies and curry leaves. Add the cucumbers, turmeric and salt. Mix well and let it cook do not add water. When the cucumbers are cooked add the peanuts and cilantro and mix well. Serve hot
