For an accompaniment to a main dish, try this novel combination of black-eyed beans (lobhia) with a fresh minty flavour. Tomato, coriander and lemon add more tang and nutritional value i.e. vitamin A, vitamin C, folic acid and iron to this salad. Serve at room temperature immediately after tossing it or refrigerate until chilled.

Lovely healthy and light salad to have. Pressure cooked chawlis mixed with onions, tomatoes and mint and dressed with lemon juice and salt. Zero oil uses.
