Instructions

  1. Cut cucumbers in to small bite size pieces and grate coconut. (Or measure ½ cup of coconut flakes if not using fresh)
  2. Heat the ghee or oil in a large pan on medium-high heat until hot. Add mustard seeds, cut green chili, curry leaves and asafetida. Cook until spices start to pop and sputter, then turn off heat.
  3. Add chopped cucumber, grated coconut and roasted peanuts. Toss to coat, then add lime juice, salt and sugar and toss again.
  4. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and pomegranate arils and mix again and serve.

Notes

  • This salad gets tossed with the hot oil but toss it quickly and then pour it into a bowl so it doesn't cook the cucumber.
