This is a simple Maharashtrian curry involving cucumber. I always prepare cucumber-based dishes from my cuisine. This is the first time,I attempted this dish and it turned out to be my favorite.I thoroughly enjoyed this curry with plain rice with a dollop of ghee. It can be paired with chapati ,puri and phulkas as well.
