Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.

  1. Prepare the Cucumbers

    Cut off both ends of three cucumbers. Peel the skin of each cucumber. Make a lengthwise cut along one side of each cucumber, about two-thirds of the way through, to create a boat shape. Insert a toothpick into the cucumber skin to hold the boat shape.

  2. Remove Cucumber Seeds

    Carefully scoop out the seeds from the center of each cucumber boat using a knife or spoon. Collect the seeds in a bowl.

  3. Prepare the Filling Mixture

    To the bowl containing the cucumber seeds, add 2 tablespoons of chopped onion and 2 tablespoons of chopped tomato. Crush one packet of potato chips and add them to the bowl. Squeeze in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.

  4. Season and Mix the Filling

    Add 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder, salt to taste, 1 teaspoon of sumac powder, and a few chopped coriander leaves to the bowl. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

  5. Fill the Cucumber Boats

    Carefully spoon the prepared mixture into each cucumber boat, filling them generously.

  6. Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle additional sumac powder over the filled cucumber boats for garnish. Serve immediately as a refreshing snack or appetizer.
