Cucumber Pachadi Recipe

Cucumber Pachadi Recipe

Cucumber Pachadi is one of the easiest and simplest curry that can be made with different vegetables. Pachadi is very similar to North Indian Raita except that the vegetable is cooked and coconut is added to it.

Cucumbers are made up of 95 percent water making them an ideal hydrating and cooling food. Cucumbers also contain polyphenols called Lignans, which may help to lower your risk of breast, uterine, ovarian and prostate cancers. Cucumber extract helps reduce unwanted inflammation in part by inhibiting the activity of pro-inflammatory enzymes.

Cucumbers are low in calories and high in fiber, which makes them useful for both weight loss and digestive health. Cucumbers are high in water and several important vitamins and minerals.

Try this healthy, refreshing and simple curry and enjoy.
