Yellow Indian Curry Cucumber Chutney / Dosakay Chutney / Dosakaya Chutney / Instant Dosakaya Chutney / Dosakaya Pacchadi

Blogging after a long hiatus, am back with our family's favorite, yellow Indian cucumber chutney. Yes, it's that round yellow vegetable which was not appreciated by our family and we would skip to buy at the market because of nil knowledge on its cooking and its taste. I wonder, why didn't my mom try with this super ball before! This Indian cucumber was introduced to us by a lady who visited our church in the past. She made chutney out of it and the family loved it. Since then it has earned its place in our kitchen and family diet. Although this is not the same recipe as hers, I can say surely it's a keeper! an upgrade, an easy one!
Point to note: add chillies and salt according to your taste.. 
So, shall we begin? 

                    To make this recipe, you'll need : 

Yellow Indian cucumber/dosakaya	1
Urad dal	1 Tablespoon
Channa dal	1 Tablespoon
Mustard  seeds	1 teaspoon
Jeera	½ teaspoon
Green chillies	4 nos
Dried red chillies	5 nos
Tamarind	size of a lemon
Tumeric  powder	½ teaspoon
Hing / Asafetida	2 pinches
Garlic	8 to 10 pods
Salt	To taste
Oil	1 Tablespoon
Coriander/ cilantro	As needed

                                                                    Method : 

1. Cut the yellow curry cucumber in half. Chop one half into small pieces and the other half into big rough pieces as this needs to be ground into a chutney. 

2. Take a Kadai, add oil, once it gets hot, add channa dal, urad dal, mustard seeds, jeera, green chillies, red chillies, tamarind (rinsed in water), turmeric powder and hing. Mix well and let the green chilies blister a bit, also the dals should slightly change their color. Switch off the flame and set it aside to cool. 

3. To a mixer jar, add the cooled mixture, add the garlic pods, salt, and roughly chopped cucumber pieces, and grind it into a chutney. 

4. Dish out the chutney and now mix in the finely chopped cucumber pieces .. Add coriander to the chutney, give it a good mix and your chutney is ready..
