Cucumber Kichadi/Cucumber in Coconut Yoghurt Sauce

        
               All Keralites would be a fan of kichadi.I wasnt a fan of cucumber before getting this recipe.But since I got this recipe I would love to prepare this veg item,a form of raita,with rice always.This is a simple but delicious famous recipe of Kerala for Sadhya (a veg thali of Keralites prepared during the festival Onam).This can be prepared using many kind of vegetables provided that they should be cooked with green chilly and turmeric before mixing it with the yoghurt sauce.
           
                Now shall jump on to the recipe....

Ingredients

Preparation Time :10 Minutes,Cooking Time: 2 Minutes
2 Cups Cucumber Diced
1/2 Cup Sour Cream / Yoghurt
1 Cup Grated Coconut

3 Green Chillies / 3 Kaanthari mulak(spicy small chillies)

For Seasoning
1/2 Teaspoon Mustard Seeds
Few Curry Leaves
2 Dried Red Chilli
1 1/2 Tablespoon Coconut Oil

Method

1. Mix the diced cucumber with salt and keep it aside for half an hour.
2. Grind Sour Cream,coconut,mustard seeds,salt,green chillies and garlic until you get a smooth paste.
3. Now add in to the cucumber mixture and stir well.
4. In another wok,heat coconut oil and spoon in mustard seeds.When it splutters,add the dried red chillies and curry leaves.
5. Stir until the curry leaves turn crispier ie about 2 minutes and dump it to the cucumber mixture.
6. The kichadi is ready to be served....
