Recipe - Refreshing carrot salad

[Guest guest]

I like my carrots raw rather than cooked, and this recipe is a favourite in my

family.

 

CARROT SALAD, South Indian style

--------------

 

Ingredients:

1/2 kg carrot, grated

2-3 tsp lemon juice, fresh

1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro leaves

2 medium tomatoes, deseeded and chopped small

1 tsp small black mustard seeds

1 tsp any cooking oil

Salt and fresh-ground pepper to taste

 

Optional:

1/4 cucumber, chopped small

1 green chilli, sliced into very thin rounds

 

Method:

1. Heat the oil in a small pan; add the mustard seeds, cover the pan and let the

seeds pop. If using the green chilli, add it now and fry it till it starts

turning brown. Take the pan off the heat and set aside.

 

2. In a salad bowl, toss the grated carrots, tomatoes and cilantro along with

the popped mustard seeds. Add lemon juice and seasoning to taste. Toss well

again until evenly seasoned.

 

Serve chilled.

Hi Pat,

 

My favourite bit is the last juicy mouthful - it's so tangy and yummy,

especially if you dont de-seed the tomatoes! Their juice blends with the

lemon juice and that exuded by the carrots... mmm!
