Cucumber pachadi

Like any other Tam Bram girl, I've grown up on cucumber pachadi, and never even knew about the existence of  'raitas' till I was in college. Cucumber pachadi is my favourite.

1 cup curds
1 cucumber grated
salt to taste

For Tempering:
Mustard seeds
Urad dal
Green chilli
Curry leaves
Til oil

Method:
Beat the curds with some water and salt to taste till smooth.
Grate the cucumber, and squeeze the juice out (you can either throw it away, or slather it on your face, or drink it like I do).
Mix cucumber with the curds.
Heat oil, temper with mustard seeds, urad dal, green chillis and curry leaves, and pour over the pachadi.
Mix well before serving.
