Notes

Cucumber: If using an English or Persian cucumber, peel and chop. If using regular cucumbers, slice lengthwise and scrape out seeds using a spoon. Then chop the cucumber.

Onions: To reduce the strong flavor of onions, soak them in water for 15 minutes, then drain and use.

Green chili pepper: I prefer to use bird's eye, Thai green chili, or Serrano green chili peppers. If you are making for kids, skip the green chillies.
