Рецепт Cucumber – Potato Stir Fry

by Uma

This is a delicious combination of potato and cucumber which

is very easy to prepare with less work. For this curry, I used English

• Cucumbers instead of Lemon Cucumbers. So we can use both types of cucumbers,
• whichever are available at the time. This goes well with rice as well as
• chapathis.
• Ingredients: (Look at the picture on the side)
• 2 Potatoes
• 2 Cucumbers
• ½ cup finely chopped Onions
• ½ tsp Red Chili Powder
• A pinch of Turmeric Powder
• Salt
• For Seasoning/Tempering:
• 1 tsp Oil
• ½ tsp Mustard Seeds
• ¼ tsp Cumin Seeds
• ½ tsp Bengal Gram (పచ్చి సెనగపప్పు, Chana Dal)
• ½ tsp Black Gram (మినప్పప్పు, Urad Dal)

Few Curry Leaves

1 or 2 dry red Chilies (optional)

Preparation:

Wash and peel cucumbers and potatoes. Then chop them into

small pieces. Keep aside.

Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. When they pop, add

cumin seeds + Bengal Gram + Black Gram + curry leaves + red chilies and sauté well.

Then add onions and fry till the onions become translucent.

Then add chopped cucumber + potato and stir well.

Add chili powder + turmeric + salt to the curry and mix

well. Keep the pan covered on medium low flame for some time.

Keep stirring now and then. When the vegetables cook well

and become soft, turn off the flame.

Transfer the curry to a serving bowl and enjoy with steaming

hot rice or chapathis.

Yummy!
