Dosakaya pachadi – Sambar cucumber or yellow cucumber chutney – a vegan Andhra style chutney recipe made with Sambar or yellow Cucumbers in a traditional mortar pestle.
This
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.
