Cucumber Sabzi

Summer is heading to start. We can keep our body cool by adding watery vegetables in our cooking even. Cucumber is one of the most common we all love to leave it as it is, without any cooking even. As an alternative we use them for salads. In this recipe, cumcumber is used to make a simple and tasty sabzi. This will be very mild in taste, not much spicy. So we can mix this sabzi with white rice and give for kids also. This can be had with spciy curries like tamarind curry. That makes a balanced and tasty meal.
