A perfect South Indian Style salad ready in 10 minutes for summer!
It’s mid of April, I can see the summer approaching 🙂 And I totally love it! And when I was in India last month, it was hot too. So, my dad makes me salad Indian way almost daily as a side for my meal. I realized how healthy I ate my food there only after I came back here. He always gives a big cup of fruits in the evening, I keep complaining but I eat them. 🙂 I am still a kid to my parents and I still complain to them for giving me fruits or veggies many times 😉 Deep inside I know that is the best healthy meal 😀 But I just complain! That is the original Me who does not fight, complain to others but I do to my dad and Mom: D may be because I love them more 😀 Or maybe they are the only ones who know the true me. Or May be 😉 I know that they are the only ones who won’t fight with me back 😀
I was never a salad person before 🙂 these days I just make them out of my own love for salad 😀 weird! Raw mangoes are a good source of Vitamin B and Vitamin C, it helps in throwing away waste products from the body :). It also helps a lot not to get a heat stroke, And carrot as you all know it improves vision, helps prevent cancer, slows down gaining and promotes healthier skin!
You can have these as side dish to rice and dal or any curry as well!
