Methi Gholana / Kachumbar, Fresh Fenugreek Herb Salad Recipe
Methi gholana is a vibrant, refreshing, zesty and slightly spicy salad that's perfect to have as a side dish to any Indian meal.
Ingredients
- 20 g fresh fenugreek leaves methi
- 60 g cucumber finely chopped
- 60 g tomato finely chopped
- 20 g onion red or white, finely chopped
- 3 strands fresh coriander cilantro, finely chopped
- 2 green finger chillies finely chopped*
- 1 spring onion finely chopped
- 1 ½ teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the fenugreek. Separate the stalks from the fenugreek, so you're left with 20 g fresh fenugreek leaves. Wash thoroughly under water. If the leaves are especially bitter, soak in salted water for 10 minutes.
- After washing or soaking the fenugreek leaves, drain well and pat dry with a cloth. Roughly chop the leaves (you can leave some whole), along with 60 g cucumber, 60 g tomato, 20 g onion, 3 strands fresh coriander, 2 green finger chillies, and 1 spring onion. Add to a large mixing bowl along with 1 ½ teaspoon lemon juice, and stir to mix the flavours.
- If you like, you can add a pinch of salt and sugar to taste right before serving.
Notes
If you would prefer a less spicy gholana, de-seed the chillis.
