Falahari Kheere Ki Sabzi (Vegetable dish made from Cucumber for fasting days) is the most simple and quick dish to be prepared. This preparation is made during Navratri and other fasting days (vrat / upvas) when the choice of vegetables are very limited.
For falahari recipes, potato is the most consumed vegetable. During Navratri many of us fast for nine days and get bored with potatoes. This Kheere Ki Sabzi is a good replacement to the aloo ki sabji. Serve it with Singhade ki roti, Singhade ka Cheela or Sabudana khichadi.
