Mumbai is currently experiencing intense heatwave-like conditions, and just a few days ago, the IMD advised citizens to stay hydrated and avoid going out unnecessarily in the afternoon heat. Apart from sipping water throughout the day, one should also prioritise cooling snacks to stay cool from within in Mumbai’s hot weather.
The Tum Mile actress, Soha Ali Khan, recently shared a delicious snack to tackle the Mumbai heat on Instagram. It is hydrating and does not even need cooking. It is called Cucumber Boats, and here are the ingredients you need to make it:

The method is also quite simple and won’t take you a lot of time. Here are the steps:
- Halve the cucumbers lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
- Take a bowl and mix the hung curd with your spice mix containing garlic powder, oregano and salt. Squeeze lemon juice into the curd and mix it again.
- Fill the cucumber boats with the curd mixture and top them generously with crushed vegetable chips. And that’s it! Your hydrating snack is ready to enjoy.
