 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       lg           Cucumber
  3       tb           Sesame oil
  1       t            Black mustard seeds
  1       t            Urad dal, white
    1/2   ts           Methi (fenugreek)
  2                    Dried red chillies
    1/2   tb           Tamcon paste
  1       pn           Hing
                       Salt -- to taste

 Peel cucumber, slit into half, scoop out seeds. Slit
 into further narrow strips and cut tiny pieces as for
 kachumbar. Should not be grated as this gives no
 'bite' feel in the mouth.

 Next, warm the oil and fry all ingredients except the
 tamarind. Mustard should stop spluttering and
 dal/methi should turn brown. Drain out these fried
 spices into a blender, leaving oil behind in pan.

 Add cucumber and stir fry for two minutes, no more.

 Add tamcon to spices in blender and with half the
 cucumber run on low speed till everything looks
 coarsely ground and blended. Remove into a bowl, add
 remaining cucumber pieces and mix well.
