Yellow Cucumber and Green Chilli Chutney

Hi everyone !! am back with another traditional low-calorie vegetable chutney Yellow Cucumber and Green Chilli Chutney which is especially good for weight watchers. It is very easy to make and quite healthy too as Cucumbers are rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin A and low in sodium. I love to have raw Cucumber. It's better to consume raw cucumber to get all benefits of the vegetables. There are many variations in making this Cucumber Chutney, today I am posting raw "Cucumber - Green Chilli Chutney". This is one of the best and healthiest ways to enjoy Cucumber without losing its nutrients. I used to make Dal, Chutney, Mukkala Pulusu and Sambhar with this Yellow Cucumber. My momma used to say this Yellow Cucumber is rich in Calcium which is good for growing children. Let us see the procedure to make this Raw Chutney :)
Ingredients :
1 medium-sized hard and raw Cucumber
6-9 green chillies (can adjust according to your spice levels)
salt to taste
Lemon sized Tamarind ( Soak in water for few minutes)
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh Coriander leaves
For Seasoning :
1 1/4 tablespoon Oil
1 spoon Chana dal
1 spoon Urad dal
1/4 spoon mustard seeds
1/4 spoon Cumin seeds
1-2 dry red chillies, broken
a big pinch of asafoetida/ hing
Procedure :
1. Wash the yellow cucumber and peel off the skin.
2. Cut into 2 big pieces. Remove the seeds and check the cucumber is bitter or not.
3. Chop half piece of the cucumber into small fine pieces and keep aside
4. Chop the second half into big pieces.
5. Take a mixie jar, add big sized cucumber pieces, green chillies, salt, turmeric powder, a few coriander leaves, soaked tamarind pulp and grind it into a coarse paste. Transfer this coarse paste to a serving bowl.
6. Now add remaining finely chopped Cucumber pieces to the coarse paste and mix well.
7. Heat a small pan with oil, add chana dal, urad dal, fry them for a few seconds until they turn a golden colour. Then add mustard, cumin seeds, broken red chillies, fry for 1 minuite, then add spring of curry leaves, a pinch of asafoetida.
8. Pour this seasoning over the chutney and garnish it with finely chopped fresh coriander leaves.
9. Serve this with hot steamed rice and ghee.
