Made using freshly chopped veggies, Kachumber is a fresh, crunchy no-cook Indian onion cucumber tomato salad that can be rustled up whenever hunger strikes. Pair it with any Indian meal for a taste lift.
Try to use English cucumbers as they are seedless and super crunchy. My second choice is Persian cucumbers which are also seedless but less flavorful than their English cousins.If using regular cucumbers, peel them and remove the large seeds.Add more or less green chilies as per your taste. Remove their seeds to reduce the heat. You can also use Jalapeno or Serrano in place of green chilies.If red onions are very pungent, soak them in water for 10 minutes, drain, and use them in the salad.To make it tangier and spicier, add some chaat masala powder and red chili powder.Do not chop the veggies in a food processor. It will chop the veggies finely, making the dish more of a salsa than kachumber. Use a knife or a manual vegetable chopper.
