What are these?

These are a type of cucumbers popular in the coastal belt of Karnataka. What is unique about them is that they can be preserved for months when stored in this way. Looking at these at one of my relatives place recently brought back my memories of my grandfather's house on the western coast of Karnataka between Udupi and Kundapur. More about this some time later.

    I heard that these cucumbers can be preserved for a year also. I saw this first in Sonda Vaadiraja mutt Near Sirsi.
