Time: 10 to 15 minutes
Serves: 3 to 4 persons
Ingredients:1 cup finely chopped cucumber (peeled)
1 tbsp tamarind pulp
3 to 4 tbsp grated jaggery or to taste
2 tbsp roasted peanuts powder (coarsely ground)
For tempering: 1 tbsp oil, 1/8 tsp cumin seeds, 2 pinches asafoetida, 1/8 tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp red chili powder
2 tbsp finely chopped cilantro
salt to taste
Method:
1) Take tamarind pulp into a medium bowl. Add around 1/2 cup water and mix well. Add salt, jaggery and mix until dissolve. [Taste should be sweet and sour, so do not hesitate to add some more jaggery if you want to.]
2) Add chopped cucumber to tamarind water. We want runny consistency, so add some more water if required. Also, add roasted peanuts.
3) Heat oil into a tadka pan. Add cumin, hing, turmeric powder, red chili powder. Pour this tempering over kayras. Garnish with cilantro.
Cucumber kayras can be served as a side dish.
