salads
Salads can be simple accompaniments or side dishes, such as kachumber, a simple chopped vegetable salad, or can be sophisticated main courses, often highlighting fresh seafood.
chickpea, tomato and onion salad
A street food favourite. Chole chaat can be served on it's own, as a snack, a nourishing lunch or as a side dish to a more complex meal. The flavour combinations from the chickpeas, tomato and onion, the chaat masala and the chutney and the crunch of the sev make this a quite special dish.
corn salad
This sweet corn salad, maaki chaat, looks appealing and is healthy, light and full of flavour. The spices and the corn work well together.
crab salad with mango and coconut
A crab salad, using really fresh crab, mango, coconut and lime. Serve andeguru kosumalli to accompany a Bollywood movie.
almond, lettuce and fig salad
A fig salad with some subtle spice from the chaat masala, and flavour and texture from almonds. An amazing, yet simple salad, anjeer ki salat could become one of your favourites, just as it was for my grandmother.

A fresh flavoured spinach and cucumber salad where the taste of the baby spinach and cucumber are brought out by the creaminess of the slightly spiced yoghurt.
