Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Mattar paneer; Salli botti; Lamb boti kebab

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • eclairea on April 22, 2026

    Needed to use up some mini cucumbers and cherry tomatoes so I made this. Refreshing!

  • tacoquokka on April 20, 2026

    Good refreshing salad to balance out the heavier dishes. Just wish they’d given weight measurements on the onion and cucumber to make sure the balance was right (since they did for the tomato), as the 1/4 onion I used overpowered everything else and was probably too much.

    I make this all the time, and it's always welcome. For the cucumber I use an English variety.
