Ingredients
- 10 cucumbers
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- ½ cup yogurt
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves
- Salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
- Chaat Masala to taste
Instructions
For the Dip
- Finely chop 8-10 fresh mint leaves. (Keep remaining for garnish)
- In a bowl, mix yogurt, mint, salt, pepper, and chaat masala.
Making the rolls
- Using a vegetable peeler, make thin slices of cucumber, length-wise. (You will need to keep the first and last aside)
- Cut the bell peppers into thin strips of about 1.5" long.
- Take an empty plate, and place one cucumber. Place another on top, with most of it overlapping but not all. Place one more in the same way.
- Lightly spread the yogurt-mint dip.
- Add 1-2 each of red, yellow and green bell peppers to one side of the cucumber strips.
- Holding the peppers, roll the cucumber strips tightly.
- It will stand, held. Add a fresh mint leaf on top.
- Repeat for all. Serve on a platter with leftover dip on the side (though it is not usually needed).
Notes
Cucumber rolls should be ideally made just before serving, else they start to release water. For our picnic, we had a live counter of the rolls.
They will stay fine for about 30 mins but if you want to make them ahead, add very little dip (just enough to hold the roll together) and serve dip on side. Keep it refrigerated until ready to serve.
