Diced Cucumbers topped with roasted and crushed peanuts, coconut, yogurt and a tempering. Tastes great, cooling, refreshing and yum.
A simple and refreshing salad that can be your side dish for a meal or as a snack, especially for your elevenses. Enjoy the different flavours and textures in every bite. It takes hardly 10 minutes to put together.
Summer is the time when you see this kakdi chi koshimbir or dahi kakdi as my daughter calls it often on the menu.
Did I say summer?
Well, it makes a great side dish any day especially when you are fasting. So you are set for your Navratri Vrat ka Khana menu too.
Serve khamang kakdi with Bhagar, Sabudana khichidi, Sabudana Thalipeeth. Or with Bhakri, Sadha Varan Bhat, Zunka bhakar.
The other salads I love after this Khamang Kakdi is Carrot Salad/ Gajari Kosambari. Try it!

Can I store this koshimbir?
No. Once the salt, sugar and peanuts are added the koshimbir is best consumed. So mix these in the bowl just before serving.
Can I add lemon to a cucumber salad?
Sure but consume it immediately. The stored kakdi koshimbir does not taste good.
