Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an extra boost of protein and satiety, add a handful of sprouted moong beans or cooked chickpeas.
- For a tangier flavor, add fresh lime juice and a pinch of chaat masala or roasted cumin powder.
- To keep the salad crisp, store chopped onions and tomatoes separately and add them just before serving.
- For a cooling summer twist, add ripe mango cubes or pomegranate seeds.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the spice level by using more or less green chili, based on your preference.
- For a richer flavor, use a good quality mustard oil for tempering.
- If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can substitute with fresh mint or a combination of both.
Storage Instructions
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Note that the salad may lose some of its crispness.
