Our hot tropical summer demands a cool & refreshing salad to start our every meal and this smashed cucumber salad is just the perfect one to fit in! Plus it gives us the much needed spicy kick that we Indians always crave for!

Since the time I have started my lifelong fitness journey, I don't remember a single meal that I have started without a large bowl of fresh salad! Whatever season it may be!

And now it has been a default part of our daily meals!

On regular days, we start our meals with a generous serving of freshly cut cucumber, tomatoes, carrots, beetroot and whatever other seasonal salad we can source.

Then on a fine day I stumbled upon this unique cucumber salad which the internet was going nuts over! Smashed cucumber salad!

A smashed salad? Really? Am I reading it right?

Well it turned out that I was reading it right and therefore was no way other than trying it myself and see why it is going so viral!

What is smashed cucumber salad?

I am sure you have seen multiple viral videos of smashed cucumber salad on various platforms, so I guess I do not need to explicitly describe what this salad actually means!

If you haven't seen it, you can check out my video of this viral salad here or below!

I don’t know how this trend started or who got the idea of smashing the cucumbers before tossing them in that incredible chilli oil dressing.

But whoever brought this into existence, we must thank them for their innovation!

The cracks created due to the smashing absorb the spicy salad dressing beautifully making the salad taste insanely addictive!

And that’s what has made this salad viral; I am completely ignoring the weird satisfaction we get from smashing the cucumbers!

You must try this at least once to get a taste of this smashed magic!

 If you are a Chinese food lover, then Khimchi is not a new item.  I was introduced to khimchi when I first dined at Mainland China years ago. Mainland China is one of the most popular Asian Fine Dine restaurant in India that serves many authentic Asian dishes .

For the uninformed, Khimchi is a way of preserving veggies like a pickle and is served alongside the main course meal . Mostly when fresh veggies aren't available either due to weather or any other factor, then this Khimchi comes to the rescue. 

 I had Googled many recipes on how-to make Khimchi at home and had been wanting to try from a long time.  Finally I narrowed down on a recipe from a popular food channel and prepared using that recipe . I was quite happy with the outcome as it was just like the one I have tasted. I made it using cabbage but there are many variants where you can add carrots, daikons etc as well.

This month in our food bloggers' group Shhh cooking secretly Preethi Tandon suggested we explore jams,chutneys ,jellies or preserves from non Indian Cuisine and viola it was the best time to make and enjoy this yummy Khimchi which was a long over due to present itself on the blog.

My partner for this month is the enthusiastic blogger Seema who gave me the versatile ingredients soy sauce and sugar while I gave her  Cumin and lemon as the secret ingredients. with Seema has made a lipsmacking Quince Chutney.. If only I could lay my hands on that chutney now,I would be in the 7th heaven relishing it :-) 

Ingredients 

Method

• In a wide mixing bowl , take the cabbage and mix it with salt and some chilli flakes . Let this rest for 3 to 4 hrs 
• After 3 to 4 hrs the cabbage will appear wilted and soggy.Squeeze out  as much juice you can from the cabbage and transfer it to another bowl.
• In this bowl,now add in all the ingredients except the oil and mix it well.
• Store it in sterilized glass jar,cover it properly and let it ferment for 24hrs .this step is very important to get the perfect taste and texture. 
• Refrigerate after 24hrs and always use a dry spoon while scooping out from the jar.
• Drizzle some sesame  oil over the khimchi just before you serve.
