Kachumber Salad

Kachumber in Hindi translates into ‘tiny pieces of raw vegetables’. It is a popular salad dish of the Indian cuisine consisting of freshly chopped tomatoes (tamatar), cucumbers (kakdi), onions (pyaaz) and chillies (mirchi). The dressing can be vinegar-based or curd-based. This salad is an easy-peasy one and never fails to make a lasting impression with its lip-smacking taste. I have also used some other vegetables here, different variations can be used. Roasted peanuts (moongfali) add a nice touch to the dish, giving it a crunchy and toasty flavour. For the salad dressing, vinegar has been combined with olive oil and a few spices, which can be added according to taste. Addition of honey brings a mild sweetness to the table. This is topped with a hint of lemon juice which sets the flavour wheels spinning into motion. Kachumber Salad is the go-to salad whenever there is a time crunch, with its timeless and impressive flavours.
