Does anyone know where you can buy Yellow Cucumbers ( bigger cucumbers people use in Nepal to make Khalpi) in the US? Or can you buy Khalpi in any Nepali /Indian stores in the US?

Thanks

kakra ta paudaina yaha but u can try kharbuja(watermellon) ko khalpi, it tastes similar to kakra ko khalpi.
lemme me tell u the how to make if u r interested.

Devon Market, Chicago

Molar,
Can you please tell us where can we buy those watermelon.? guess that should be raw.
Also, let us know how to make it. Thanks

Thank you Molar And Chicago-Bull. Aba tehi bhaye pani try garnu parla.


Chicago Bull, do you get Kakra or khalpi there?

I called Devon Market and they dont sell kakra ( i mean big yellow cucumbers)

I'd seen there. May be seasonal...!

here u go.
u dont need raw watermellon, just get the usual riped watermellon.
rato bhag jati chai katera khane ani baki rakeho bokra ra seto bag le khalpi banaune, ali ali rato bhag baki rakhne.
bokra lai chai kakra lai jastai knife le khaurine(hope u got), dont peel it. ani tukra , tukra banaara katne. u know how they cut khalpi right? serrated cutting, in this case bokra pati.
Now just leave in sun for 1/2 hrs. then add salt, turmeric, mustard powder, red chilli, ali ali jeera dhaniya ko dhulo ani tori ko tel.u can add green chillies if u want, just put it in the bottle n leave in sun for few days. would taste almost like khalpi. i ve done this several time . this is an excellent recipe out of something u would never use.
just try n let me know.
bye

thank u molar for the wonderful recipe. I cannot wait to try it.
