Ingredients

2 midi cucumber, cut into 0.5cm cubes
2 medium tomatoes, cut into 0.5cm cubes
1 medium carrot, scrubbed and coarsely grated
1½ tbsp finely chopped red onion (about 1/2 small onion)
2 tsp fine salt
1½ tsp ground cumin
25g pack coriander, leaves and stalks chopped (reserve a few whole leaves to serve)
½ x 25g pack mint, leaves chopped
1 green chilli, chopped
3 tbsp lime juice
2 clove/s garlic
1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger (or ginger paste)
3 tbsp Greek-style natural yogurt, to serve
40g Bombay mix, to serve

Method

Put the cucumbers, tomatoes, carrot and onion in a mixing bowl. Add 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp ground cumin; set aside.
Put the remaining 1 tsp cumin in a small food processor with the remaining ingredients, except the yogurt and Bombay mix. Add the remaining 1 tsp salt and blend to a smooth green purée. Add 2 tbsp cold water if needed to help blend.
Stir ½ of the green sauce into the vegetables. Transfer to a sharing platter. Add a few dollops of yogurt, then drizzle with the remaining sauce. Scatter with Bombay mix and finish with the reserved coriander leaves. Let everyone dive in with their own spoon.
