Kachumber Recipe
Blog: cookingwithnelo.com
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 medium tomato - I use Roma tomato
- 1 medium onion - peeled, I prefer red onion
- 1 mini cucumber - (see Note A below)
- 1 small Thai green chili - optional, adjust to taste ⓘ
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice - or lime
- ¼ teaspoon regular white salt - aka table salt
Instructions
- Finely chop the tomato, onion, and cucumber. Mince the green chili really finely, and remove the seeds and ribs if you want to tone down the heat. Add everything to a bowl.
- Add in the cilantro, lemon juice, and salt. Mix everything well. Serve the kachumber alongside curries, pulaos, or any of your favorite desi meals.
Notes
Note A: Cucumber – Any salad-friendly variety should be fine. I leave the peel on, unless it's too thick. When I’m using smaller varieties like mini or Persian cucumbers, I use one whole. When I've got a longer one, like an English cucumber, I use about half of it. Essentially, you need a 5 to 6-inch piece.
