    Dosakaya pachadi - Sambar cucumber or yellow cucumber chutney - an Andhra style chutney recipe made with Sambar or yellow Cucumbers in a traditional mortar pestle.

    This is my other favorite chutney which my Mother makes regularly at home. This will taste amazing with hot rice and a dollop of ghee 🙂 Will also be good as a side for roti or dosa.

    Sambar cucumber also called as Madras cucumber, grows extensively in South India. Unlike other cucumber varieties, this is not eaten raw. This will be sour in taste and will be good for pickles, chutneys, and Sambar.

    Apart from dals, chutneys are a must in our daily meals. They can either be pickles with mango, gooseberry, tamarind or chutneys made in a mortar pestle.

    There are a lot of traditional chutney recipes on this blog, do check them out. Let's begin this recipe.
