Funny, I’ve been trying to figure out what a nimbu is. It’s translated as both lemon and lime in english. Its scientific name is Citrus aurantifolia, which is the same as key lime.

In India they make “Kachumber” which is chopped tomatoes, cucumber, dhania (coriander leaves), mirchi (those small green hot peppers) held together with nimbu juice (somewhere between a lemon and a lime). The nimbu denatures the tomato element which prevents me from eating them raw so I find it quite refreshing. Good with grilled foods and naturally, any curry.

KC once told me that all Mexican food is bland. Maybe in his old age he’s starting to lash out at those fuzzy wuzzies.

Agreed, too bland.
