Notes

  • You can add sprouted moong beans or other sprouted beans to the kachumber salad if desired.
  • Feel free to omit the cucumber, or mango if you don't like them.
  • Have all ingredients ready to go before frying the papad so you can top the salad right before serving. This prevents the papad from getting soggy.
  • Adjust spices according to your taste preferences.
