Method

8 steps · 45 min

01
Soak Moong Dal
Rinse the moong dal under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it overnight in plenty of water.
02
Combine Salad Ingredients
The next day, drain the soaked dal well. Transfer it to a large bowl, then add the grated carrots, diced cucumber, chopped tomato, and thinly sliced shallot.
03
Prepare Tempering
In a small pan, heat the 2 teaspoons of oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds and a pinch of hing.
04
Add Curry Leaves and Chili
As soon as the mustard seeds begin to pop and sputter, toss in the 3 curry leaves and the 1 inch of broken dried red chili pieces. Be careful, as they might sizzle and jump.
05
Stir Tempering
Stir the tempering mixture for just a few seconds, until the curry leaves are fragrant and everything is coated in the hot oil.
06
Pour Tempering
Carefully pour this hot oil mixture over the dal and vegetables in the large bowl, then give everything a good stir to combine.
07
Finish Salad
Now, add the juice of 8 lemons, the 3 tablespoons of coconut, and the chopped cilantro and salt to taste. Mix everything thoroughly.
08
Adjust Seasoning
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you like more heat, stir in some finely chopped green chilis; the small ones from an Indian market are particularly good here.
