Chucumber (Indian Cucumber Salad) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 red onion, finely chopped
    7 ounces cucumbers (200g)
    3 1/2 ounces ripe tomatoes, finely cubed (100g)
    3 -4 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
    1 red chile, very finely chopped (omit or reduce amount to suit your taste)
    1 green chili, very finely chopped (omit or reduce amount to suit your taste)
    1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 tablespoon oil (I use sunflower)
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
    1 1/2 teaspoons chat masala
    125 g salted peanuts, roughly chopped (see introduction)
    salt (to taste)
Preparation
    Mix red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, cilantro, chilli, lemon juice, oil, pepper and chaat masala in a bowl and mix well. This could be done some hours in advance as the flavours will improve.
    Just before serving, add the chopped peanuts and taste if extra salt is necessary.
