Easy Cucumber Salad

This is a favourite at home…esp when it’s eaten with curries, chapatis, nasi briyani…etc2. It’s awesome with fried chicken wings too! It’s a simple version of Acar Timun actually. I usually add strips of carrot too. I had none in the fridge, so I had to omit it.

    You are most welcome Zee 🙂 I have to agree with you. Acar timun is deff E best. I especially like the Indian style Acar Timun…which normally has less tumeric. I like mine with extra toasted sesame seeds too! 😀
