Southe kai Pachadi( Cucumber Chutney)


This is Mangalorean Cucumber(thovshen) Chutney. In Konkani we call KARAM. My mother was making this for the Nativity Feast(Mother Mary's feast) on 8th of September. I love this chutney very much. For this recipe I took Valleri (Mogem) coz we are not getting Mangalorean cucumber here and I made some changes like adding curd and boiling the valleri.
In my mom's recipe there is no curd, mustard seeds, coconut oil and curry leaves. Just grind all the ingredients except cucumber to fine paste. Peel the cucumber and cut into small pcs. and add it to the grind masala(chutney)
Ingredients:-
Southe Kai (cucumber) peeled,deseeded and cut into small dices - 1Kg
Green chillies slit - 3
Grated coconut - 1/2 cup
Beaten curd - 1 & 1/2 cups
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
Onion - 1 small
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
Red Chillies - 2
Curry leaves - a sprig
Coconut oil - 2 tbsp
Salt - to taste

Method:-
This is my recipe Add salt,green chillies and very little water(about 1- 2tsp) to the cucumber pieces.Cover it and cook in medium heat till the mixture is dry .Grind together grated coconut and cumin seeds, & onion. Add this ground mixture to the cucumber.Add beaten curd and mix well. Heat coconut oil in a pan,allow mustard seeds to splutter.Add red chillies and curry leaves and fry for a while.Pour the seasoning over the kichadi.Mix well and serve with rice.
