Summer tip - Have a fresh salad every day.

Ingredients:

Ash gourd - 1 cup, cleaned, peeled, de seeded

Cucumber - 1 small, cleaned and peeled

Fresh yogurt or curds - 1 cup

Salt to taste

Pepper powder - 1 tsp. or chopped 

For tempering:

Oil - 1 tsp.

Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp.

A dash of Asofetidia.

Curry leaves few

Urad dal - 1 tsp. (optional)

Method:

• Take one cup ash gourd. Either grate it or churn it in a mixer just for half a minute. I prefer the latter one.
• Keep it aside.
• Cut the cucumber in to small cubes.
• Take yogurt in a serving bowl. Add salt and pepper to it. Mix well. Add the ash gourd and cucumber. Mix well and refrigerate for some time(if you have)
• Till that,
• Heat oil in a small pan.
• Add the mustard seeds and allow to splutter.
• Add urad dal and allow changing the color.
• Add curry leaves, hind and red dry chilly.
• Remove from the heat and allow it to cool.
