Cucumber Dhirde (काकडीचे धिरडे)

Ingredients:
1 cup grated cucumber,
1 cup jowar flour,
1 tbsp besan flour,
1-2 chopped green chillies,
1 tsp carom or ajjwain seeds (optional),
chopped coriander leaves (optional),
salt as per taste

Servings: 4 medium size dhirde

I used sambar cucumber for this recipe. You can use regular cucumber instead. Grate the cucumber and mix all the ingredients. Add very little water to get thick consistency (idli batter consistency).

Heat pan and apply little oil on the pan for greasing. Pour one ladle full of batter and lightly spread it in circular motion. Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Once the bottom side is brown and well roasted, flip the other side. Cover again with the lid. In about 2-3 minutes, the other side will be fried properly.

Dhirde is ready to serve. You can either serve it with a green chutney or curd based salad. My daughter loves it with ghee and sugar.
