cucumber sasmi (chutney) | southekai sasmi | kerkattige sasmi with step by step photo recipe. perhaps, one of the healthiest and clean food which is full of multi nutrients as there is no cooking involved. it is a rice accompaniment or can be served with rice, dosas and idliy’s. cucumber sasmi can be prepared very easily if you are in a hurry and you need something healthy. i always use cucumber to prepare cucumber salad or cucumber raita. however, cucumber sasmi is an easy alternative in the hot summers. i personally love cucumber sasmi out of all other sasmi’s or chutney recipes.

if i am not wrong, the word sasmi is dervied from word sasive which means mustard seeds in english. honestly, i was not a big fan of saami recipe before coming to australia. also i was considering is as a variation to normal day-to-day chutney recipe. however, once i started to miss my moms food, i realised the importance of traditional udupi cuisine. furthermore, this cucumber sasmi recipe is shared and prepared my mom and taste extremely flavourful. the blend of  fresh coconut, dry red chillies and mustard seeds (sasive) makes the sasmi unique.
