This salad needs fresh veggies that are spiced up with chaat masala and salt with a bit of lemon juice.

All you need is a knife, veggies and a chopping board. Chaat Masala and salt are always available in any Indian household.

This easy-to-make kachumber salad recipe gives refreshing feel when served with spicy food, roti-sabji, rice. Apart from this, you can even make this kachumber at any other time when you experience hunger pangs.

I make this kachumber salad mostly at lunch and I prefer making this salad over pickles considering the nutritious aspect. Also, this salad falls under no cooking/no-fire category.

Its very important in today’s time to add raw veggies to our diet and that’s where salad can help.
