Yellow cucumber chutney || Guntur Dosakaya pachadi || instant dosakaya mukkala pachadi

Today's recipe is Andhra style guntur dosakaya pachadi. This yellow cucumber is popularly known as Guntur dosakaya in Andhra. It is spicy and tasty which goes well with hot plain rice with dollop of ghee😋😋. This is famous chutney which can be prepared in many ways and it taste different in every home but it's tasty🤗. Whenever I visit my hubby's place (Tenali) we use to purchase this cucumber. We can prepare dosavakkaya pachadi/cucumber pickle, dosakaya pappu/cucumber dal and simple dosakaya kothimira pachadi/ cucumber coriander chutney. 

   And today's our recipe is very flavourful as we first fry seasoning ingredients + few cucumber pieces grind it and then will add it in remiaing cucumber pieces that's simple isn't it🤗. I forgot to take yellow cucumber pic while preparing chutney. The below pic is bit raw cucumber if we keep it out for 1/2  to 1 day it will become yellow( Pic for information). We can also add cucumber seeds but we do not like the taste, so I removed it.

Note

Tips

** Rest cucumber chutney for minimum 1 to 2 hrs so that cucumber absorbs grinded masala. 

** Adding Methi seeds/menthulu will gives very aromatic flavour and good taste to chutney. Do not add more methi seeds it will make chutney sour. 

** Adjust chillies as per your taste. 

** Chutney tastes  good when it is bit spicy. 

** It taste good for 3 days when it is kept in refrigerator. 

** We grinded seasoning so adding seasoning is optional. But I like tempering in chutney as it is final touch which adds taste 😋.
