How to Make Indian Cucumber Relish
- Score the skin of 2 large cucumbers lengthwise with a fork.
- Slice the cucumbers thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).
- Layer the cucumber slices in a shallow bowl, sprinkling 1 teaspoon of salt generously between each layer.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to draw out excess moisture.
- Gently remove the cucumbers from the bowl. Place them between several layers of paper towels, pressing firmly to remove excess liquid.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder, 1/4 teaspoon garam masala, 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder (or to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste).
- Add the dried cucumber slices to the yogurt mixture and gently toss to coat.
- Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
