Cucumber raita (Perugu pachadi)

In Andhra we call it perugu pachadi (mosuru baggi in Karnataka) which is traditionally made of onions. I feel the raw onions are too strong, so I substitute onions with cucumbers. I like this way because it’s cool and very refreshing. 

Ingredients: 

Cucumber -1

Med size tomatoe -2

Green chillies-2

Finely chopped cilantro 

Procedure: 

Finely chop the cucumbers and tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Now take a small skillet and put the popu with a teaspoon of oil, few mustard seeds, hing and the green chillies. Add the popu to the cucumbers and tomatoe with some salt and finely chopped cilantro. .
