For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of chaat masala. Adjust the amount of lemon juice and seasoning to your liking. This Kachumbar is best served fresh. If making ahead, store the ingredients separately and combine just before serving to prevent the cucumbers from becoming soggy. Try using different types of tomatoes and cucumbers for a more complex flavor profile. A finely minced green chili can add a delightful kick for those who enjoy a bit of spice.
