Refreshing Cucumber & Amla Salad

1.Start by washing the cucumbers and carrots thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.

2.Peel the cucumbers if desired, then dice them into small cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

3.Grate the carrot using a grater and add it to the bowl with the diced cucumber.

4.Wash the amla well, remove the seeds, and finely chop them. Add the chopped amla to the bowl with the other vegetables.

5.In a separate small bowl, combine the plain yogurt, salt, black pepper, red chili powder, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

6.Pour the yogurt dressing over the cucumber, carrot, and amla mixture in the large bowl. Toss everything together gently until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.

7.If using, sprinkle chopped fresh coriander leaves on top for added flavor and garnish.

8.Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
