Yellow cucumber or sambar cucumber is used to prepare curries, raitas and even pickles. It is one of the staple Andhra vegetables which is used as the main ingredient in our daily cooking.

I agree this is a variant of the cucumber family which is mostly available in South India, but one can cultivate it at home by sowing its seeds.

Apart from making Dosakaya Egg curry, we can even make use of this veggie in combination with chicken and prawns. By adding moong dal we can make a dry version or add this veggie in toor dal to make a dal version.
