Tambli/Tambuli is a happy marriage of chutney and yoghurt. It involves no cooking, quick to make and easy to clean. The total time is 5-7 mins. It is a perfect accompaniment with rice on a hot summer afternoon. Very popular in some parts of Karnataka. There are many ways to make it and here I have my version.
You need these to make cucumber tambuli:
Cucumber - 1 (alternatives are onion, brahmi, doddapatre soppu etc)
Coconut - 2tbsp
Green Chillies - 2
Coriander leaves - 1 line
Yoghurt - 1/2 cup
salt to taste
Tamarind - optional
Preparation :
Deskin and deseed cucumber. Cut them into small little pieces.
How to do :
Take small pieces of cucumber, coconut, greenchillies, coriander leaves and salt in a blender. Blend to a smooth paste. Water in the cucumber is sufficiant to blend them together. Add this paste to yoghurt and mix well. Serve with Rice, pickle and sundried yoghurt chillies.

Doddapatre soppu tambli
Doddapatre soppu is a plant with many medicinal properties. I know that it is used to cure skin allergies in folk medicine. I have 2 pots full of this soppu/leaf/keerai in my balcony garden.
Ingrediants:
Doddapatre Soppu : 10 big leaves
Jeera: 1 tbsp
Coconut : 2 tbsp
Green Chillies : 2-3
Yoghurt : 1/2 cup
salt
How to make:
Roast/Fry Doddapatre Soppu in one drop oil till the leaves wilt. The same version of the soppu available in India is thicker and it irritates the tongue when eaten/used without roasting/frying. The leaves that I have at my house in Singapore does not irritate the tongue when eaten/used without frying.
Blend Doddapatre Soppu, Jeera, green chillies , salt and coconut to smooth paste using sufficiant water. Add this paste to yoghut mix well. Serve with Rice.
Nice recipe. This is almost like the pachadi that we make.
