Cucumber salad :

(All ingredients are underlined)

Cut 1 cucumber with a knife into small pieces and squeeze out all the cucumber juice by pressing firmly with both hands, as shown in the video below. Add 2 tbsp coarsely ground roasted-peanut powder*, 2 tbsp sprouted matki / moth, and 1 tbsp finely chopped coriander. Add salt to taste, 2 tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp sugar. Mix well. In a small pan, heat 1 & 1/2 tsp oil, and add 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1/4 tsp asfoetida (hing), and 1 vertically slit green chili. Stir fry a little and turn off the gas. Add this seasoning to the salad and mix well. Serve with roti/chapati.

*Roast peanuts in a pan on a medium flame till some black spots start appearing on the outside. Let cool and then crush a little with hands to separate peels. Blow away the peels and grind the peanuts coarsely.
