Ingredients
Dhokla Base
- 4 Khaman Dhokla leftover
Tadka
- 1 Tbsp Oil
- 1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 5-6 Curry Leaves
- 1 tsp Ginger finely chopped
- 1-2 Chiles finely chopped, green
- 1/4 cup Bell Peppers capsicum, finely chopped
Salad Vegetables
Topping
- 1 cup Nylon Sev
Instructions
- Crumble the leftover Khaman Dhokla into small pieces. Gently squeeze out any excess water. This helps the dhokla absorb the flavors of the tadka and other ingredients.
- Prepare the tadka. Heat the oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them splutter. This releases their nutty aroma. Add the curry leaves, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the chopped bell pepper and sauté for another minute until slightly softened.
- Combine the crumbled dhokla, chopped tomatoes, grated carrots, chopped cucumber, and cilantro in a large bowl. Pour the prepared tadka over the salad. Mix everything well to ensure the dhokla is evenly coated with the flavorful tadka.
- Just before serving, top the salad with nylon sev. This adds a delightful crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- You can add more salad ingredients like fruits (such as pomegranate seeds) and American corn kernels.
- For extra crunch, toss in a handful of roasted peanuts just before serving.
- If serving at a party, assemble the salad just before guests arrive to prevent the khaman dhokla from becoming soggy. Keep the tadka and sev separate and add them at the last moment.
- For a vibrant flavor boost, drizzle with a bit of spicy green chutney or sweet tamarind chutney before garnishing with nylon sev.
- To make this salad vegan-friendly, ensure the tadka (tempering) is made in oil rather than ghee and double-check that the sev is not made with any dairy ingredients.
Expert Tips
- For a creamier salad, add a dollop of vegan yogurt or a sprinkle of crumbled paneer (if not vegan).
- Adjust the amount of chutney and sev based on your preferred level of sweetness, spice, and crunch.
- Experiment with different types of dhokla, such as white dhokla or rawa dhokla, for variations in flavor and texture.
Storage Instructions
- It's best to consume this salad fresh for optimal texture and flavor. Avoid storing it for extended periods as the dhokla can become soggy.
