CUCUMBER CURRY
Served hot, this unusual curry is good with fish dishes. It is also good when served cold with cooked meats.
Serves :

Preparation Method :
- Bring the water to boil in a heavy pan and add the creamed coconut, turmeric, sugar, and salt. Simmer until the coconut dissolves and the mixture becomes a smooth, thick sauce.
