Cucumber curry

Ingredients:

1 whole cucumber, peeled and cut into small pieces
3 to 4 teaspoons curry powder  or 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper powder
Optional: A pinch of turmeric powde
r Salt 2 teaspoons
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Method:

Heat the oil.Add the cucumber pieces and the optional turmeric. Mix well and cook covered on medium heat. Keep checking and frying every 2 min or so. After it starts to soften a bit add the salt and cook covered further. Cucumber tends to cook fast so keep checking and frying every 2 min or so. The salt and the cucumber gives out water. So after the cucumber is cooked well add the curry powder and mix well and cook for another 2 to 3 min. The curry powder will absorb all the water and the curry should come together as a mass. If not using curry powder just add the cayenne pepper powder and give it a fry. Remove from heat and serve.
