Yellow/Lemon cucumber pickle!

If you like the pungent taste of mustard with juicy bites of spicy cucumber in sesame oil, which we call Dosavakaya, this recipe is for you. 

Pick a ripe juicy yellow/lemon cucumber, wash and pat dry

Cut into bite-sized pieces, not too small or too big

Roast mustard seeds over low flame for a minute till they start popping and smelling great

Hand-grind patiently for twenty minutes or till the powder is fine

Add chilli powder; redder the better!

Add salt to taste, usually half to two-thirds of the chilli powder measure

Add a tang of turmeric

Mix thoroughly to coat every piece with the chilli-salt-turmeric-mustard seed mix

Add sesame oil to coat the paste completely

Let the oil seep in for an hour

Bottle the pickle, tingle the tastebuds!
