Dosakaya Pappu Recipe | How to make dosakaya pappu | (Dal with Yellow Cucumber)

Hi friends, thank you all for visiting my website and @EATeasyvegrecipes youtube channel. Today's recipe is dosakaya pappu or dal with yellow cucumber. Dosakaya or yellow cucumber is mostly available in Andhra and Telangana. We can make dal, pachadi and pulusu with dosakaya. Normally dosakya has a tangy taste but sometimes we get bitter dosakaya which we have to discard. Dosakaya pappu is a delicious dal, a combination of dosakaya and toor dal. Some people add onions and tomato also in it. Normally I do not add anything just dosakay and toor dal with spice powders and tadke. Dosakaya is the most comforting and flavourful delicacy in Telugu cuisine. Dosakaya pappu can be made pretty quickly with minimal ingredients. Dosakaya is one such vegetable which has very low calories and fats. And also interestingly no cholesterol.
