1. Peel and dice the beetroot and the cucumber. Peel the tomatoes, remove the seeds and dice. Place all the prepared vegetables in a large salad bowl, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and with the sugar and gently stir in the coconut, coriander, chilli pepper, peanuts and yoghurt. Add a little more salt if wished.

2. Heat the oil in a small, non-stick frying pan and when very hot, add the cumin seeds. Fry for 2 - 3 seconds; as soon as they start to jump about in the pan, take off the heat and add to the salad.

3. Stir carefully once more and serve with chapatis as a delicious, refreshing accompaniment to almost any Indian main course.
