Im radha from usa. Im south indian.

at my farmers market they sell poona kheera or some say puneri khira.

When is the correct stage to harvest and eat it and is it really an indian
cucumber? I asked other indians at the market and they dont know what it is.

I see it sold in various stages

Harvest?
