I was thinking of continuing with my recipe for good health instead of writing about what I think alone.I have in these column on various occasions promised to write more on certain subjects but have never continued them.I think writing about cooking is the easiest way to unburden oneself.There is nothing demeaning in such write ups,for I do see recipe books sometimes when I want to cook something different.So here is one for you.
Cucumber Shake.
.................................
Ingredients.
......................
1) One Cucumber- skin removed and sliced.If the seeds are very small and tender it is o.k. to have them.If not remove seeds too.Piece this cucumber.
2)Take two cups of skimmed curd.
3)Take half a piece of green chillie,a little green coriander leaves and some tender curry leaves too.
4)In mixer cum grinder add the cucumber pieces and cut the pieces and then add the rest of the ingredients and run the mixie.
You can take a siever and sieve the cucumber drink ,adding salt and if you like a little asafoedia for taste.This is a good drink,especially in summer.A piece of green ginger can also be added when running mixie,but remember to ensure that the green chillie is not too hot with the ginger piece too,making the drink quite hot in taste.
Jayamala.
