Ingredients
- 2.5 cups cucumber (about 2 medium sized cucumbers)
- ½ cup coconut fresh grated
- ¼ cup peanuts roasted, crushed
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2-3 tablespoon ghee or vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
- ⅛ teaspoon asafetida
- 1 green chili cut down the center
- 4-5 curry leaves
- ½ teaspoon salt add more to taste if needed
- ½ teaspoon sugar add more to taste if needed
- ½ cup cilantro coarsely chopped
- ¼ cup pomegranate arils
Instructions
- Cut cucumbers in to small bite size pieces and grate coconut. (Or measure ½ cup of coconut flakes if not using fresh)
- 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.
- Add chopped cucumber, grated coconut and roasted peanuts. Toss to coat, then add lime juice, salt and sugar and toss again.
- 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.
