This is quite a popular & traditional ways to have the green, cool cucumber pachadi in Kerala & other parts of the down south just the names are different & it’s raita- what we call it usually.
However the preparation process are completely different as well as the taste & flavours too

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
