1 1/2 teaspoons Chaat Masala (or store-bough, or more to taste
1 pound yellow tomato, finely chopped
1/2 pound Armenian or any seedless cucumber, finely chopped
2 cups finely chopped Romaine lettuce or fresh spinach leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, including soft stems
1 fresh green chili pepper, minced with seeds
1 to 2 tablespoon peeled minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon , ground ajwain, seeds
1 to 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice or lemon juice

Prepare the chaat masala. Then mix everything in a large bowl. Adjust the seasonings and serve. If you wish to serve the salad chilled, mix all the ingredients except the chaat masala and ajwain seeds, and chill up to 24 hours. Add the spices just before serving, or the salt in the chaat masala will draw out the juices from the ingredients and make the salad too liquidy.
