Once upon a time, long long ago, back in the mother country I went to a friend's house and her mom made this "Chutney" with Yellow Cucumber. My mom never made it. I had no idea what it was, but boy oh boy it was delicious.
I had to ask my friend's mom for the recipe and then finally one day when I found this in the market I got it and I made it myself. Its super delicious and it goes great with white rice or with Dosa or Idli or anything else you want chunky chutney with
