Maharashtrian style cucumber salad recipe | Khamang kakdi | Kakdi chi Koshimbir recipe – A crunchy, no-cook cucumber and peanut salad recipe. Summer salad recipe with full video and step-by-step instructions.

We take lots of cucumbers, watermelon, ash gourd and other vegetables which have a lot of water content, during summer. Sometimes it’s too boring to have it raw with a simple salt and pepper seasoning. I have already posted an interesting Thai-style cucumber pineapple salad recipe. This simple style of salad I saw on my Instagram feed. Being a big fan of peanut, I loved it very much. I had all the ingredients in my hands, so wanted to try it immediately.

When I made this salad last week, everyone at home loved it. The crunchiness of the peanuts and cucumber and the addition of grated coconut and coriander leaves paired so well. When I made this for today’s post, I just had this salad along with some dal fry for my lunch. It was quite filling too.
