Step 1, better to use White wine to soak the cucumber, carrots and shallots. Step 2. I am not sure this is necessary. The chilliness can be mix in later with curry powder, turmeric and paprika (if necessary) Step 3. Do not fried the veggies. Keep it separate. Step 4. Sugar should be added with step 1. Leave it for four hours or more. Step 5 as in Step 1 Step 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. 10, 11, 12 not necessary.
