             Wash the cucumbers and onions and slice them very thinly. Take a large bowl and make a layer of onions first and sprinkle with salt, then layer the cucumbers over the layer of onions and sprinkle with salt. Weight it down with a plate and leave it for three hours. After three hours, drain away the liquid from the bowl and rinse the onions and cucumbers twice. Cook the sugar, spices and vinegar in a not-stick pan over a low flame till the sugar gets dissolved. Then add the onions and cucumber to the pan and bring it to a boil. After about five minutes take the vegetables out of the pan and set aside, while letting the rest of the broth simmer over the flame for about twenty more minutes. After ten minutes or so, when the vegetables have cooled down a bit, put them in a sterilized jar. Then pour the syrup over it. Cover the jar with a sterilized cap. Let it cool for a bit and then put it away in a cool, dark place. Hope you'll like the recipe and try it and hope it'll turn out delicious. Good luck!
