Easy mild cucumber curry

Easy mild cucumber curry

Cucumber is a super food for weight watchers. This vegetable contains a lot of water, as a result it takes more calories to digest it than it contributes to your system.

Smooth skinned green cucumber is always associated with salad and pickles. In fast food hamburgers picked cucumber is used. This crunchy and juicy vegetable is mostly welcomed by children as well as adults. Today it has taken a prominent place in juicing of vegetables. It has been used in stews. Do you know this cheap and abundantly available vegetable can also be made into a curry?  We can make delicious curries with spices, chilli powder, and coconut cream or with yogurt.

Today I am going to make a simple mild curry without any spices or oil. It will turn out to be as good as other curries.
