Notes

Cucumber: If using 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 onion, you can soak them in water for 15 minutes and then drain and use.

Green chili pepper: I prefer to use birdseye, Thai green chili or Serrano green chili pepper. If you are making for kids, skip the green chillies.
