Usually, cucumbers are consumed raw or taste good in salads. This recipe I have taken from Priya Buran my cousin from Maharashtra. It is a very simple recipe, they help in maintaining cool in hot summers. These instant dosa recipes like pitchatlu, rawa dosa, vegetable omelette, bread uttappam come in handy when we are not in a mood to cook heavy dinner and wish to have variety. These dosas take a longer time to cook but loved by one and all. While choosing the cucumbers, choose dark-skinned, smooth and perfect shaped ones only. Crumpled edged cucumbers have bitter taste.
