More than tandoori chicken, I love the cabbage salad that is usually served along with it. Some places serve it just right. The tangy, sweet and spicy flavours just hit the right notes. It is a very simple salad made with easy-to-get ingredients and it completely satiates me. Plain tandoori chicken or tikkas might taste a little too simple but with this salad along, you have a complete dinner ready.

Did you know that tandoori chicken may not be healthy? But the salad, unless there is excessive seasoning, is nutritious. Making it at home isn t a time-consuming task. I prefer making this salad home as I can add a few more veggies to it and make it healthier. I could also team it with a healthy tandoori chicken recipe. Try making this salad at home and your weekend dinner will be set.

Ingredients:

  • cabbage, finely shredded (about 1 big cup)
  • 1 medium sized capsicum, sliced in juliennes
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 carrot, grated or julienned
  • 1 cucumber, sliced into long strips
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • Salt to taste
  • Coriander for garnish

Method:

  1. Wash and chop all the vegetables and mix in a big bowl. Here s the correct way to wash all your vegetables.
  2. To these, add the vinegar, ketchup, lime juice and salt. Combine well.
  3. I prefer using my fingers to mix the salad well as it helps incorporate all the ingredients and gives the salad a better taste.
  4. Allow the salad to sit for at least half an hour before serving so that the vegetables absorb the juices and taste soft and delicious.
  5. Serve with tikkas or have it as is.
