Assembly of the Dish:

  Prepare this cucumber sheet just before the assembly is ready to begin.
 Arrange the cucumbers, slightly overlapping each other, on the cutting board until the sheet is 6″long. Trim the ends to form a straight line.
 Transfer the sheet to a bamboo mat.
Spoon the Paneer curd rice filling along the bottom of the cucumber sheet, leaving space from the bottom.
Compact the filling into a log 
 Lift the mat and gently roll the cucumber sheet over the rice filling, pressing gently.
 Continue to roll with the help of the sushi mat, pressing the roll to keep it tight.
 Once the sheet has been completely rolled around the filling, place on the plate and pipe a straight lengthwise stripe of tomato chutney cream cheese along the centre on the top of the roll. Top with the dehydrated tomato skins, Parmesan papad/crisp and mint leaves.
