A cooling cucumber salad for the summer

The Radikal Kitchen theme for the summer is salads and this time I bring a cooling cucumber recipe, referred to as kakdi in many parts of India.

As I firmly believe, salads can be an exciting cooking experience with a whole world of flavours to explore. We’re lucky to live in a land of diverse, global flavours.

Khamang Kakdi is a Maharashtrian style recipe from western India, made up of cucumber and peanuts. It is a tempered salad with coconut oil. However, it also tastes excellent when chilled, making it that perfect summer salad option.
