Ingredients: 3 cucumbers peeled and chopped ¼ cup roasted peanuts 1 green chili deseeded and finely chopped 1 teaspoon sugar ½ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoon cilantro ½ lemon For tempering (tadka): 2 teaspoon oil 1 teaspoon cumin seeds 1 sprig curry leaves
Lightly crush the peanuts using a mortar and pestle. Set them aside. Peel the cucumber and dice them into small pieces. Transfer into a bowl.
To make the tempering, heat oil in a small pan and add cumin seeds. Once they sizzle, add curry leaves and turn off the heat. Let it cool down slightly. Add the tempering to the chopped cucumber. Next, add the crushed peanuts, green chili, sugar, salt, cilantro, and lemon juice. Mix well.
Spicy, tangy, and mildly sweet cucumber peanut salad is ready to be served.
