Spicy Cucumber Curry

Few days ago, I shared a recipe of cucumber as a curry, but it is a mild spicy curry. Here is another way we cook cucumber in Sri Lanka.

  

Ingredients:

1 medium size cucumber

1 onion sliced

1-2 dry red chili  crushed into pieces

1 sprig curry leaves

1inch piece pandan leaf/(rampa)

1 tsp chili powder

¼ tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp curry powder

1 tsp mustard seed

1 tsp fenugreek seeds

Piece of cinnamon

Salt to taste

1/2 cup thick coconut milk

2-3 tbspn cooking oil

Method

Peel cucumber, remove the seeds & cut into pieces.(about 1 inch).Keep aside.

Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds once oil is heated.

Once it is popping up, add onion,crushed chili and curry leaves & pandan leaf.

Sauté for few seconds until onions are tender & releasing good fragrance.

Then add cucumber & mix well.

Add all the other spices .Mix all together, cover with a lid, allow to cook in medium flame.

Once cucumber is cooked add thick coconut milk. Stir well.

Adjust salt to taste.

Simmer for few seconds & remove from the flame.

Serve & enjoy!!
