Cabbage and Carrot Thoran-style Salad (Indian Salad)

Preparation

Step 1


Melt oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat.


Step 2

Add cumin seeds and cook for 30 seconds.


Step 4


Add eschalot and onion, cook for 3 minutes until translucent but not coloured.


Step 5


Add garlic and green chilli, cook for 2 minutes until softened but not golden.

Step 7


Add coconut, water and salt. Cook until water mostly evaporates – about 3 minutes.

Step 9


Taste and check if it needs more salt for your taste.
