Wash and cut the cucumber into one inch pieces. Let them be of the same size.

Take oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, as it splutters, put the turmeric powder and asafoetida. Throw in the cucumber pieces.

I usually close a lid with some water over it, this helps in even cooking. Alternatively, you can sprinkle a little water over the vegetable and close the lid.

Cook them till tender, avoid adding salt in the beginning.

Once the cucumber slices are cooked, put salt, spice mix and a little chilli powder.

Mix it and let it cook for sometime.

Cucumber Stir Fry is ready to serve.
