Ingredients
- 2 Carrots grated or 1 ⅔ cup grated Carrots
- 5 medium sized Red Radish grated or 1 cup grated Red Radish
- ½ cup chopped Red Onion
- 3 small Green Chilies seeded and chopped
- 3 tablespoon Roasted Peanuts coarsely crushed
- 1 tablespoon Lime Juice or to taste
- ¾ teaspoon Salt adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon Roasted Cumin Powder
Tempering
- 1 - 2 teaspoon Oil
- ¼ teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- ¼ teaspoon Asafoetida
- ¼ teaspoon Turmeric
Instructions
- Lightly peel carrot and radish, and grate. Food processor works best here.
- Finely chop onion.
- Seed green chilies and finely chop, alternatively corsely mince.
- Roast peanuts on stovetop or microwave for 1 ½ - 2 minutes, turning every 30 seconds. Once cool, pulse a few times to get a coarse powder.
- Take all the ingredients except tempering ingredients in a bowl and toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- If doing a tempering, heat oil in a pan, add cumin, asafetida and turmeric. Pour this over salad and gently mix.
- Serve salad as a side dish for grilled meats or with rice.
Notes
- Adjust carrot, radish and onion to one's liking. Equal quantities of all three works great but I personally prefer less onion.
- Tempering is optional and I usually skip this step. Salad still tastes fine.
