Kachumber salad
Finely chopped onion, cucumber and tomato with green chilli, lemon juice and chaat masala: the fresh salad beside dal-rice meals, biryani and grills. Laccha pyaaz is just onion rings with lemon and chilli, Maharashtra's koshimbir adds crushed peanuts and Karnataka's kosambari soaked moong dal. A Jain home leaves out the onion and adds finely shredded cabbage.
