Curry is topped with a salad made in the tradition of India called kachumbar. Even the heaviest gravies are lightened by the acidic crunch that fresh herbs and lemon add.

It was okay. I didn’t find it particularly noteworthy, but I made it to use up some cilantro. I used the dish itself as a healthy add-on to sandwiches.
This is delicious. I added a little extra lemon juice and olive oil. The mint adds a really unique twist, but it is still tangy. Usually I have to let these salads sit for a few hours before i like the flavor, this one i could eat instantly. Would definitely make again.
Delightful, fresh taste. I used lime juice and a touch of flavored olive oil. Definitely needs salt. Great late summer dish when the veggies are plentiful.
Decent, very simple to make
This salad is delicious! it is also very healthy.
super good and refreshing
8-17-20 We had this with some tikka masala from a meal kit. It does make a nice compliment. My husband enjoyed it, but I thought we could cut back on the leaves a bit.
It was amazing. I had to use parsley instead of cilantro and added some garlic chives. It was even better the next day.
Delish! I added a bit more cilantro and fresh squeezed lemon, did not add salt or pepper. This will be a perfect healthy side for the grill out we are doing later today.
Served this with Indian meatballs. It is fantastic. Will definitely make it again!
Made the recipe as listed except I had to use less cilantro since i was running low and not going shopping! It is quite delicious, i served it with plain yogurt and tofu tikka masala. The second time i added the olive oil someone else mentioned in comments, which was also delicious.
I made this for a work lunch for 40 people. Our department made Indian dishes for the group. This salads freshness perfectly complimented the meal and everybody raved about it. This is a definite keeper!!
This is one of my go to Salads! I do like to add in some olive oil too, it just adds to the goodness.
I will make it again, very good for a hot summer night
I used red onion and added some celery heart, and lemon pepper. I used 1/4 cup fresh chocolate mint and no cilantro. We had this with some grilled chicken marinated in yogurt and lemon. This was a good complement to the chicken.
This was good the day I made it, but awesome the next day. Very refreshing! I didn’t have any cilantro, but didn’t really miss it.
1.1.17 I’m sure this would be delicious served over curry, but I served it over grilled haddock which was sensational. The combination of cilantro and fresh mint bring a very pleasant, surprising flavor.
