Awsum recipe I will definitely do dis
What can I use in place of olive oil?
In India , raw Cabbage should never be eaten , as it is grown in kacchi khad hence is a good source of worm infestation. As such , I request you to please modify your salad preperstion by using cabbage which is cut washed thouroghly & steamed in salt water for 5 min. , strained & put in cold water to retain its colour, then put for sometime in friz for keeping it crisp. Thank you.
SO delicious!!! I LOVED IT First time I''ve had the guts to use black salt; so I used less than called for, but next time I''ll go for it. And will use kashmir mirch for half the chili powder. Thank you so much, I''m so glad to have found this site!
I tired it..., it tastes superb. Its delicious and very healthy ??
