Grate the cucumber, put some salt to it. Add the paste(made in step one) along with the curd to the grated cucumber. Mix it together.
Now, put a frying pan and heat coconut oil in it. Fry the curry leaves, dry red chilli, and mustard seeds, until the mustard seeds start to splutter. Add this to the cucumber mixture.
