Soak the rice in water 5-6hours. Drains out the water from the rice and transfer to a blender.half blend it,add the grated cucumber and Blend them together and make smooth batter(cucumber itself is having more water so add water only if needed),pour the batter in to a heavy bottom pan,add salt,sesame seed ,cumin and Ghee(clarified butter)stir and keep it on the gas stove.

Turn on the heat(medium flame),keep on stir the batter nicely until this become like dough(it will absorb the water contents and will become dry)then turn of the heat and let it 15 mins to cool down.
