I learnt these idly's by my friend . It is a konkani dish , famous in Mangalore . We can do two types of cucumber idly , one is savory version and other is sweet version , here i am posting savory version , next time i will post sweet version.

- Curd 2 tsp
- Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp
- Chopped coriander 1/2 cup
- Chopped curry leaves 8-10
- Green chilly chopped 2 -3
- Salt to ur taste
- Oil 1- 2 tsp
Method :-
In a vessel add grated cucumber , grated coconut , rice rava and salt and mix well. cucumber will leave water so don't add water . peeling cucumber is option , i don't peel. Set aside this mixture for 30 min.
Keep a small pan / kadai add oil heat it for 1 min , now add mustard seeds , when they splutter add curry leaves , chilly and fry for 1 min n turn off . Now add this to the rava and cucumber mixture , add chopped coriander , curd and mix well . The mixture should be just binding kind of , if it is too dry add one more tsp of curd or little water .
Now grease the idly moulds with 2 drops of oil , pour the mixture into it , heat 3 cups of water for 2-3 min in a steamer / big cooker and keep idly stand in it close the cap , cook for 15- 20 min on medium flame, turn off the stove , pic a tooth pic if it is done ok other wise cook for 5 more min's .
