Hasi Sasive | Paji Sasmi: Mangalore Cucumber in Mustard-Coconut Yogurt

I love yogurt and yogurt based dishes as can be seen from my recipes for Balaee and Moong Dal Palak Khichdi cooked in buttermilk. So I am always on the lookout for new yogurt-based recipes. This week, when I was looking up Udupi recipes, I came across a whole host of yogurt-based recipes. So, here I am with the recipe for Hasi Sasive.

Mangalore Cucumber

Also called Paji Sasmi, this dish involves no cooking (if you discount the tempering) and gets done in under 10 minutes.

All you need to do is grind Mangalore Cucumber pieces with mustard, coconut, and red chillies, and then mix it in sour yogurt. Finally just temper it with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and red chillies, and voila! the refreshing Hasi Sasive is ready.

What I loved about this dish is that while the yogurt was the cooling element, there was a hit of heat from two sources: the mustard and the chilli. The combination is just irresistible.
