Cucumber Seeds Rasam may sound strange to you. This rasam is done using Mangalore Cucumber or Bannada Sauthekai as we say in Kannada langauge. It is also known as curry cucumber and used in Southern part of India.
Curry cucumber is known as Mangalooru Sauthekai in Kannada, Tamil it is Velarekai, Vellarikka in Malayalam and Kheera or Kakadi in Hindi and Shosha in Bengali. Here I have used the pulp and seeds of Curry cucumber to prepare Rasam or Saaru as we call it. Fresh coconut milk adds to the health count. It is one of the traditional and rural prepared dish and its 100% healthy dish. Normally eaten with plain rice. This rasam (Saaru), helps to keep the body cool in summer. We can also serve this dish as a healthy drink in summer.
