Kakadi Koshimbir | Indian Cucumber Salad
This Cucumber Salad is a light and refreshing recipe that is typically served as a sides. Simple handful ingredients like yogurt, peanuts (my favourite) along with cucumber, salt-sugar goes into this salad. Recipe is super quick, easy and perfect for summers.
Ingredients
- 1 no small cucumber or 1/2 large
- 3/4 cup plain curd or yogurt thick
- 1-2 tbsp peanuts roasted
- 1-2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt adjust as per taste
- fresh coriander optional
Instructions
- Wash and grate the cucumber. If required you might need to peel the cucumber before grating. I am using english cucumber which has soft skin, so peeling doesn't required.
- Take a mixing bowl and add grated cucumber into it.
- Pour thick yogurt into the mixing bowl and gently mix together.
- Coarsely grind roasted peanuts and tip into mixing bowl. You can use all of it or adjust as required.
- Finally add salt and sugar into bowl. Mix everything well and salad is ready to serve.
- Optionally, you can also add finely chopped fresh coriander at the end.
- Cool and refreshing Kakadi Koshimbir or Cucumber Salad is ready. (Serve it chilled or at room temperature)
Notes
- As cucumber releases its own moisture, use thick curd or yogurt in this recipe. So that salad won't be runny or thin.
- I prefer to use homemade roasted peanuts. For which I roast raw peanuts over medium-low heat until it turns brown and dry.
- This salad can be served as side dish and goes really well with sabudana khichdi or vada.
