A SUPER SIMPLE SALAD TO PAIR WITH YOUR INDIAN MEAL
Kachumber salad is a simple traditional Indian salad.
The freshness and crispness of the onion and cucumber combined with the acid of lemon work beautifully to cut through the spices generally found in Indian cuisine.
Traditionally this salad also has tomatoes in it, but the quality of the tomatoes you find here in Singapore isn't the best so I've chosen to leave them out. If you do include them, make sure they are top quality!
This salad pairs well with any grilled dishes or any curries.
