Carrot Salad

கேரட் சாலட்

By Ganesan Kannan

35 mins Serves 4 Medium Tirunelveli

A crisp, no-cook carrot salad built around 2 carrots, grated, finished with a South Indian mustard tempering.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 1

    Wash and prepare 2 carrots, grated — chop, grate or cube as the recipe needs.

  2. 2

    Grate the carrot fine and keep it raw — a mustard and curry leaf tempering poured over is all the cooking it needs.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil, crackle mustard and urad dal with curry leaves, and pour this tempering over the mix.

  4. 4

    Add salt and the dressing only just before serving, and toss lightly with your fingertips.

  5. 5

    Serve the carrot salad fresh and cool as a side with rice or as a light meal on its own.

சமையல் குறிப்பு

கேரட்டை மெல்லியதாக துருவி பச்சையாகவே வைக்கவும்; கடுகு தாளிப்பு மட்டும் போதும்.

Grate the carrot fine and keep it raw — a mustard and curry leaf tempering poured over is all the cooking it needs.
