A fantabulous salad of crunchy cucumber dotted with spicy, roasted sesame and crushed peanuts. A tempering of jeera and a garnish of chopped coriander add their strokes of flavour to this lovely creation. Enjoy the Cucumber and Sesame Seeds Salads as soon as it is tossed because cucumber tends to let off water after sometime. Enjoy this crunchy accompaniment with Phudina Puris , Aloo Aur Kaddu ki Subzi and Badshahi Khichdi .
