Happy Sunday to you all and hope you are enjoying wellness. Today I will be sharing with you another recipe from my kitchen, and this time its a healthy toasted cucumberĀ šŸ„’Ā alongside some drops of veggies of carrotĀ šŸ„•Ā and onion stem for a side dish.

Recipes are something we can create out of anything food, vegetables or fruits. And cucumberĀ šŸ„’Ā being a vegetable with lots of health benefits, vitamins and nutrients is one that can also serve as food or side dishes and not just for eating raw or making drinks.Ā

Their mild taste and refreshing crunch make them suitable for adding to saladsĀ šŸ„—, sandwiches 🄪 or accompanying rich or highly flavored dishes, such as curries and stews, but this recipe is one that shows how we can also toast our cucumber with some dips into flour crumbs that will leave it crispy after toasting. Its very simple , quick and straightforward with just few ingredients, cucumberĀ šŸ„’Ā being the base.

Below I will share a step by step process with you friends.
