Indian Cucumber Salad (Kachumber)


I believe a proper kachumber has tomato & fresh coriander in, but I neither, and only a glut of homegrown cucumbers.

Serves 4 as a side dish

1 cucumber, peeled if the skin is tough like mine
1 small onion, thinly sliced
A large pinch of salt
A large pinch of cayenne
1 tbsp of chopped coriander or 1 tsp dried mint
Juice of half a small lemon

Thinly slice the cucumber into half moons and mix with all the other ingredients.  Leave to stand for 10-20 minutes for the lemon juice to mellow the raw onion.

A good accompaniment to a rich, creamy curry.
