Cucumbers stuffed with a peanut based masala is a handy option that could be served as a salad, snack or an appetizer! Cucumbers are vegetables with high moisture content, and must be consumed regularly. The peanut stuffing is a healthalicious way of adding the nutrition of peanuts as well as their unique taste and texture. Kids love these!

With some planning in advance, you could have your peanut masala prepared beforehand and pronto stuff tomatoes and cucumbers to be served for a weekend get-together!

Ingredients

  • Cucumbers: 3
  • Peanuts:1 cup (soaked for 4 hours)
  • Green chillies paste:1 tsp (optional)
  • Jeera powder:1 tsp
  • Jaggery syrup:1 tsp
  • Coriander:1 tsp or to taste(chopped)
  • Rock salt to taste

Method

  • Cut the cucumber into rounds (approx 1 to 2 inches each).
  • Scoop out the inner flesh being careful not to scoop out all the way through the bottom.
  • Place the slices on paper or cotton towels to drain.
  • Crush soaked peanuts and mix with remaining seasoning but do not add salt.
  • Stuff cucumber cups with peanut masala.
  • Serve on a bed of grated vegetables mixed with some peanut masala.
  • Variation: Substitute peanuts with grated carrot/steamed corn/other vegetable.
