Kachumber (Indian Salad)

Who says Indian has to be unhealthy?  Far from it.  Despite the use of ghee in traditional Indian cookery, there is also a wonderful use of vegetables.

This is my take on Kachumber, a traditional Indian salad.

Kachumber - serves 2 adults

Ingredients

1/2 large onion, finely diced
Approx 2 inches / 5 cm cucumber, finely diced
2 ripe tomatoes, finely diced
1/2 tsp sugar (miss out if on a sugar free diet or substitute for a natural sweetener)
Juice of half a lemon (or lime)
Salt to taste
A large pinch of chilli powder (or garam masala if you prefer it milder and more fragrant.)

Method

Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl, taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
