Fresh Kachumbari/ Green Kachumbari
We make fresh salad using cucumber, tomatoes, onions chopped and mixed with curd, some times tempered garnished with crushed peanuts, corainder, chillies ...Finding a similar recipe felt nice.
My biggest worry about attempting new cuisines is that I end up finding my trouble spots....in what appears to be a simple dish below, I was worried about avocado. The avocado has always ditched me....I always struggle to find the right time to cut it open.
This time around, I purchased this fruit a day ahead of when I wanted to make the kachumbari. Mentally preparing my self to discard 100Rs in the bin and at max use the raw or mushy inside only for the pictures. However, I was a tad luckier than I had expected to be....the avocado was nice and smooth like butter, a bit mushy with all the transport woes ...across countries I presume...

1 cucumber peeled and cut in roundels
