Khamang Kakdi is a delicious lightly spiced crunchy cucumber salad from the Maharashtrian cuisine. Freshness in a bowl, Khamang kakdi is made with cucumber, coconut, peanuts and a few herbs and spices. It is also known as kakdi chi koshimbir which in Marathi language means, salad (koshimbir) made from cucumber (kakdi).
INGREDIENTS:

Keep the chopped cucumber aside for 15 to 20 minutes in a bowl or plate.
Meanwhile when the peanuts cool at room temperature, remove the skins from the peanuts. Just rub them between your palms and the peanut skin will come out easily. Add the peanuts in a mortar-pestle.
Crush to a coarse powder. You can even crush peanuts in a small mixer-grinder jar or spice-grinder
After 15 to 20 minutes squeeze water from the cucumber by cupping between your palms or holding between your fists. Then add the cucumber in a mixing bowl.

Add fresh grated coconut, chopped green chilies, chopped coriander leaves and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. You can add less or more lemon juice as required.
