Dosakai Kura | Cucumber curry

Doskaya, In andhra we often find yellow color cucumbers which are usaually used to prepare curry, and commonly added in dal, sambar, non veg and pickles and we can also eat them directly, which tastes really good and crunchy. Even I like to eat them raw more than cooked. It is the most refreshing and soothing vegetable that instantly induces a cooling effect on consumption.

1 green chilies chopped
pinch of turmeric
salt as needed
2 tsp oil
1 spring curry leaves

1 tsp channa dal
1 tsp red chilli powder(optinal)

Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds once get splutter, add cumin and dals.
When the dals turn slightly golden, add hing and curry leaves.
