4. In a bowl mix the curd, salt, cucumber and carrots. Refrigerate it until you want to eat.
5. When it's time to eat, we need to add the tempering. For that in pan heat the oil and add in the mustard seeds, white whole urad and green chili. Let it sizzle for a few seconds and then add into the bowl.
