Cucumber and White Radish Salad

I made this salad today for the first time and absolutely loved it. This recipe is a keeper and I will be making this salad quite often.

Cucumber & White Radish Salad (slightly adapted from Yamuna Devi's cookbook)

 1 medium sized cucumber, peeled and coarsely shredded
1 small white radish, peeled and coarsely shredded
1/4 cup yogurt
12-15 almonds, coarsely powdered
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsps coriander leaves, chopped
1/2 tbsp cumin powder
2 tbsps dry-roasted white sesame seeds
pinch of chilli powder

Place the shredded cucumber in a strainer and sprinkle with salt. Keep aside for 1/2 hr. Then, drain out excess liquid. Combine the cucumber, radish, yogurt, almonds, salt and olive oil in a bowl. Add the toasted sesame seeds and cumin powder and mix once. Sprinkle chilli powder on top. Garnish with coriander leaves. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
