Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Dice the cucumber, tomato and onion into small, even cubes of about 1 cm (1/2 in).

2. 2

   Seed and finely chop the chili if using.

3. 3

   Wash the coriander and mint, dry them well and chop them.

4. 4

   Put the diced vegetables and chili in a mixing bowl.

5. 5

   Scatter over the cumin, chili powder, black salt and a little salt.

6. 6

   Add the coriander and mint, then pour in the lemon juice.

7. 7

   Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.

8. 8

   Taste and adjust with more salt or lemon juice.

9. 9

   Serve at once. Salt draws water from the vegetables, so the salad turns soupy if it sits for more than an hour.
