Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 small Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 small Green chili
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the red onions. Transfer the sliced onions to a large mixing bowl.
Dice the tomato and cucumber into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the onions.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and green chili. Be careful while handling the chili, as it can be very spicy. Add them to the bowl.
In a small separate bowl, combine the lemon juice, chaat masala, salt, sugar, and ground black pepper. Mix well to form a tangy dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the mixing bowl.
Using clean hands or salad tongs, gently toss everything together until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or chaat masala as per your preference.
Transfer the onion salad to a serving dish, garnish with additional chopped cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
