• 2 to 3 tablespoons Thinly chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup Cucumber, thinly diced
• 1.5 teaspoons Roasted Cumin powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Red Chilli powder
• 1 teaspoon Thinly chopped green chillies, this is totally optional as it will give a spicy flavor so avoid it if you don't like spice.
• Salt to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper, you can add extra if not using green chillies or according to your taste
• Pomegranate seeds to garnish
• Celery leaves also to garnish, in place of celery leaves you can use anything else like dill,parsley or cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Mint leaves, chopped
• Pomegranate powder to garnish it, it really looks very nice because of its pink color and adds a little tangyness
• 1 tablespoon Honey
