This is one of our family favorites. This pulusu tastes so good with
rice and some papads on the side. The cucumbers I used in this recipe
are from our garden. It feels so good to grow your own vegetables and
cook them. Isn’t it?
Now to the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 3 cups Yellow Cucumber pieces, peeled
- 1 Tomato, chopped
- ½ tsp Red Chili Powder (can be replaced with Green Chilies)
- A pinch of Turmeric Powder
- A few Cilantro leaves
- A gooseberry-sized Tamarind (can be replaced with tamarind pulp)
- ½ tsp Mustard Seeds
- ¼ tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 tsp Oil
- Few Curry Leaves
- 2 tsp Rice Flour
- Salt
Preparation:
- Soak Tamarind in a little water and keep aside.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet and add mustard seeds. When they pop, add cumin seeds + curry leaves and stir well.
- Then add cucumber pieces + tomato + chili powder + turmeric and mix well. Pour some water and allow the cucumber pieces to cook well.
- Meanwhile, extract tamarind pulp from the soaked tamarind.
- When the cucumber pieces are cooked and became soft, add tamarind pulp and salt and mix well.
- Then dilute rice flour in a small amount of water, mix well and pour this on top of the pulusu. Mix well and leave it until it comes to a soft boil.
- Finally turn off the stove and transfer the pulusu to a serving bowl. Garnish with cilantro and enjoy with steaming hot rice. Yummy!!
