Prepare the vegetables: Wash the cucumber, tomatoes, and onion thoroughly. Finely chop them into small, uniform pieces. For a less watery salad, deseed the tomatoes before chopping. If using, finely chop the green chili.
Combine the vegetables: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the chopped cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and green chili (if using).
Add dressing and seasonings: Just before you are ready to serve, add the lemon juice, salt, black pepper powder, roasted cumin powder, and optional chaat masala to the bowl.
Garnish and toss: Add the freshly chopped coriander leaves. Gently toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing and spices.
Serve immediately: Serve the salad right away to enjoy its maximum crunch and freshness. It pairs wonderfully with curries, dal, rice dishes, and grilled meats.
