A friend gave me some seeds of cucumber to plant in my garden this summer. Lo and behold they were huge (as big as small cantaloupes ) and yellow and green striped. Through you two I have discovered that they are DOSAKAIS! I have two left and as soon as I round up two more ingredients they are going to be dosakai pickles. I live in north-central Ohio and would say to everyone that the dosakai will grow anywhere the U.S. cucumber will grow. (I will be saving seeds to grow more next year.)
THANKS

Hi Lavi,

We have not tried this recipe with mustard oil but it tends to be much sharper and more intense in flavor than sesame oil. Any other oil will work and will taste good, but you will not get the authentic flavor. You can definitely use green apples in a pickle…they taste wonderful.

Hi Sony,
Great idea – will try it next time 🙂
