Dishoom Recipes - Kachumber - Tomato, Cucumber & Onion Salad
Recipe

Kachumber

A messy to-do of cucumber, onion and tomato.

Kachumber is the closest thing we Indians have to a salad. The salt helps the vegetables to release all their delicious flavours into the mix, while the lime juice lifts the whole affair.

Ingredients

Method
  1. Peel and finely slice the onion. Place into a bowl, cover with cold water and let it sit while you prepare the rest of the Kachumber.
  2. Cut the cucumber in half lengthways. Slice across the diagonal into elegant half moons. Dice the tomato, removing the seeds first if you wish.
  3. Drain the onions and blot with kitchen paper to remove excess water. Place the tomato, cucumber and onions in a serving bowl. 
  4. Pick half of the coriander leaves, chop and add to the bowl. Sprinkle it with sea salt or kabab masala and mix together. 
  5. Dress the salad with the lime juice, mix well and serve.
