Chucumber Indian Cucumber Salad

---

This salad comes from north india and tastes excellent served with beer as a first course. I have also eaten it as a packed lunch. A lovely combo of flavours and textures. The original recipe calls for unroasted and unsalted peanuts, but i find the roasted, salted and esily available peanuts work great and that's what i use. Omit or reduce the chillies if desired. Recipe source is a book i borrowed from the library. The book is written in german but has been previously published in english with the title 'food of india'.
