Your radish salad is ready!! Simple, isn’t it?
You can eat it as is or add some curds and enjoy it!
I’m introducing yet another simple salad. One of my daughter’s favorite.
This is salad is best eaten fresh. I say this because the salt in the salad dehydrates the cucumber and tomatoes and the water from the veggies will make the salad watery. So, mix the curds just before serving!
Ingredients
1 cucumber, chopped
2 med-sized tomatoes, chopped
2-3 stalks of spring onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup curds ( This quantity can be varied depending on how dry you want your salad to be)
1/4 tsp black pepper powder
1/4 tsp jeera/cumin seed powder
salt to taste
This is how we proceed…
Take the chopped cucumber, tomatoes, spring onions in a bowl. Here is a pic of the colorful trio when I chopped them –
In another bowl, take the curds. To this add salt, pepper powder and jeera powder. Beat it well to get a smooth consistency.
Add the beaten curds to the veggies and toss it. Your colorful salad is ready! You can enjoy it as it is or with any kind of rice.
Let me know how it turns out!!
My lunch usually consists of salads. This salad I think can be quite filling. Presenting you, the green gram salad…
Ingredients
One cup green gram (sprouted)
2 med carrots, grated
1/4 cup sweet corn (optional)
2-3 tbsp freshly grated coconut
A few coriander leaves, finely chopped
For seasoning
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
A few curry leaves, finely chopped
A pinch of hing
1 tsp oil
1 green chilli, finely chopped (optional, I prefer my salads bland so I prefer to skip it)
What to do with all this??
All the ingredients mentioned ( except the ones under title seasoning) should be put into a mixing bowl. Toss it so they mix well.
Take a small pan. Place it on low flame. To this add oil. Once oil is hot, add mustard seeds. Once it crackles, add hing, curry leaves. Fry for few seconds and add it to the salad in the mixing bowl.
Give it a toss. Oops!! Forgot to mention salt. Pl do add salt to taste. And relish your healthy snack!!!
