Nidhan ji We do have two such types of cucumber in Kashmir. One which is grown on floating gardens of Dal lake (Dal kheera) is normal large kheera that we get in markets without visible tubercles, whereas one to generally grow in our kitchen gardens (similar to one uploaded by Raghu ji) is lighter in colour, smaller in size and prominent tubercles which don't rub off easily. We used to call it baghi kheera, mush tastier than Dal kheera one.
