Notes

  • Make in advance - Make in advance (up to 3 days) and refrigerate. The icy coldness of a refrigerated kachumber will add even more help if your main dish is high on the spicy spectrum.
  • Yoghurt dressing - If you want a simple yoghurt dressing mix 2 tbsp plain yoghurt with 1 garlic clove (finely minced into a puree), salt & pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice. Dollop it on top of the kachumber just before serving, then sprinkle over some mild chilli flakes.
  • Storing - Kachumber will stay fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days. It is NOT suitable for freezing.
