Andhra Style Cucumber Chutney | How to Make Cucumber Chutney

Andhra Style Cucumber Pickle | Dosakaya Ava Paachadi | Cucumber Pachadi - Yellow Cucumber Mustard is an Andhra Specialty Chutney. This Yellow Cucumber Mustard Instant Chutney is aromatic and tasty. And can be made in just 10 minutes. Eat it with hot Rice and Ghee and you cannot just stop eating.

Yellow Cucumber Pickle is different from this instant Chutney I am making with Mustard. This lasts just a day outside and 3-4 days if refrigerated. As far as I know, it is made more in the Godavari districts. In fact, that is where I had first tasted this Chutney and learned the recipe.

Tips

Yellow Cucumber:

  1. Yellow Cucumber has to be firm only then will the pieces be crunchy and tasty. You could add the seeds too if you like. I have added some.

  2. Yellow Cucumber is sour if you take the Desi variety.

Mustard Seeds:

  1. Some people like the strong, pungent taste of Mustard. Some like it in a moderate proportion. I have used a medium quantity. You can increase or reduce depending on your preference.

Seasoning:

  1. Seasoning tastes good if it is roasted well. The Chutney tastes good after the pulses become soft on absorption of Oil. The Fenugreek Seeds especially taste bitter unless they are well roasted.

Oil:

  1. Use Sesame Oil or Groundnut Oil for the Chutney.

Finally:

  1. Chutney has to get really well marinated in the Mustard Paste. Only then do the Yellow Cucumber pieces taste delicious. So, you should let the Chutney rest for at least an hour.

    Tried it and it came out really delicious! But , one correction! the written recipe is missing the ingredient "Ginger" which is in the video. I followed the written recipe and missed the ginger but it still turned out great! Just pointing out so the written recipe can be fixed.
