Ingredients

Method

  1. 1

    Wash and prepare 1 cup pomegranate pearls — chop, grate or cube as the recipe needs.

  2. 2

    Use black salt instead of table salt and mix gently with your fingers so the pearls do not burst.

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