  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.
