Cucumber Snack
by Tarla Dalal
Cucumber snack, a scrumptious, hassle-free, no-cooking snack, which can be whipped up any time of the day. I have used low-fat paneer and curds to reduce the calories without compromising the taste. Adding dill leaves and green chilli paste perks up the flavour while cucumber makes it rich in fibre and paneer and curds add to the calcium and protein content.
