Kachumber (or kachoomber) salad is typically a small dice of cucumber, tomato and onion accented with some chile and ground cumin, occasionally mixed with yogurt raita style, and served as a side dish to a meal- whether a simple paratha, dal, biryani or curry. There are many regional variations all over India. I love eating salads, but slightly chunkier and perhaps more ‘Western’ in style.
Ingredients
1 cup tomatoes (preferably heirloom), cut into bite sized pieces
1 cup cucumbers, peeled, seeded and cut into bite sized pieces
¾ cup red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup bell pepper (preferably yellow, red or a mixture), cored, seeded and cut into bite sized pieces
5 radishes, thinly sliced
1 green cayenne chile, finely chopped
1tsp cumin seeds, toasted, finely ground
salt and pepper, to taste
juice of 1 lime (2-3 tbsp)
¼ cup coriander leaves, roughly torn or chopped
2 tbsp cup mint, roughly torn or chopped
Instructions
Place cut vegetables, chile and herbs in a large bowl and season with ground cumin (to your taste), salt and pepper. Sprinkle with lime juice and toss well and serve immediately.
