There is an excellent vegetable shop next to the Hanuman temple in Saligrama, Dakshni Kannada. As I was browsing, I saw giant Cucumbers and casually asked the vendor, whether he knew the different types of dishes that can be prepared using these giant Cucumbers. He said Dosa is prepared using these Cucumber during Dasara and also shared the recipe!
