NOTES
- This recipe was shared by my friend Shilpa Kannade .
- The Maharashtrians actually chop the cucumber by the process called tochne – keep slicing the cucumber horizontally and vertically and then chop it finely .
- You can make the salad and add salt and sugar while serving ,to avoid cucumber from sweating more.
- You can add little curd also .
- I have added grated carrot for colour.
- While tempering you can also add ¼ tsp of mustard seeds .
