Spicy Carrot and Green Apple Salad (South Indian Style)

spicy carrot and green apple salad

This is a very healthy refreshing South Indian style salad made with shredded carrot and green apple and a dash of lemon juice, ginger and sugar. The best part of this recipe is the unique way the flavouring is infused into it with the help of tempering with mustard seeds that makes it aromatic and delicious.

This recipe is adapted from the traditional south indian carrot salad recipes. I tweaked the recipe by adding shredded tart green apple, cilantro and ginger for extra flavour.

Ingredients: 
2 carrots shredded
1 green apple Shredded
Fresh Cilantro – 1 tbs
1tbs fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp ginger grated
salt to taste
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp mustard seeds
a few fresh curry leaves
1 small green chilli (optional)
1/2 tsp vegetable oil

Instructions:
1. Mix together the shredded carrots and apple. Add chopped cilantro.
2. Heat 1/2 tsp vegetable oil in a small sauce pan. Add the mustard seeds when the oil is just hot to make them splutter. Add the chopped curry leaves and remove immediately and pour it on the shredded salad mix.
3. Add lemon juice, salt and sugar, toss well and serve. Enjoy!
