Tavsali is made using a special, local, seasonal cucumber available during the monsoons along the Konkan belt, Goa, Karwar etc. This cucumber is called ‘Tavshe’ in Konkani and is different from the usual vegetable cucumbers available. However, you can prepare this cake using regular cucumbers too. The taste will vary though.
