Chucumber (Indian Cucumber Salad)

"This salad comes from North India and tastes excellent served with beer as a first course. I have also eaten it as a packed lunch. A lovely combo of flavours and textures. The original recipe calls for unroasted and unsalted peanuts, but I find the roasted, salted and esily available peanuts work great and that's what I use. Omit or reduce the chillies if desired. Recipe source is a book I borrowed from the library. The book is written in German but has been previously published in English with the title 'Food of India'."

directions

  • Mix red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, cilantro, chilli, lemon juice, oil, pepper and chaat masala in a bowl and mix well. This could be done some hours in advance as the flavours will improve.
  • Just before serving, add the chopped peanuts and taste if extra salt is necessary.

  1. Delicious! I made Recipe #111581 for this recipe, as I wasn't sure I believed food.com's sub of garam masala. I used more lemon, a lot less oil/peanuts, and omitted all the peppers since they were included in the chaat masala. Two of us easily ate this as a side dish with an Indian meal. Very enjoyable.
     
  2. Delicious and tasty!! I had no chillies except dried, but it still came out beautifully. I used garam masala also as I did not have chaat. Highly recommend this one as an alternative to a plain salad!
