Instructions

  1. Wash the cucumber, cap both ends, peel and halve lengthways and remove the grains. Cut the halves diagonally into pieces approx. 8 mm thick. Put the pieces with the salt in a bowl, mix well and leave to steep for 2 to 3 hours at room temperature. Mix every now and then.
  2. Cap the onions and garlic at both ends, peel and quarter the onions lengthways, squeeze the garlic. Wash the chillies, cut them lengthways and wash out the grains. Cut the red chilli diagonally into fine rings. Discard the stem, leave the grains. Wash the peppers, cut open lengthways and unfold, remove the grains and the light red partitions and cut the empty pod across into fine strips.
  3. Pour off the salt water over a sieve. Drain the cucumber pieces well. Return to the bowl, add sugar, honey, vinegar, tamarind syrup and the remaining ingredients and mix well.
