Cucumber Koshimbir is a refreshing side dish from Indian cuisine, particularly popular in Maharashtrian meals. This simple salad combines chopped cucumber with green chilies, fresh cilantro, grated coconut, and a splash of lemon juice, often finished with a tempering of mustard seeds and curry leaves. Low in calories, it is rich in hydration due to the cucumber's high water content, making it ideal for hot climates. The coconut adds healthy fats, while the cilantro and chilies provide vitamins and antioxidants. Packed with fiber, it aids digestion and supports gut health. Typically served alongside rice or flatbreads, Cucumber Koshimbir is a vibrant way to incorporate fresh vegetables into your diet. However, the addition of oil for tempering may increase calorie content slightly, so moderation is key for those mindful of fat intake.
