Notes
Tips/Tricks
- cucumbers have a lot of water in them so I usually add finishing salt to the dish rather than salt the cucumber directly
- use only 100g of yoghurt if serving 2ppl but 200g if serving 4ppl
- you can substitute Lebanese cucumbers in the recipe
- add some grilled chicken or pork loin to this dish and you have a delicious main course dinner
