Take a cabbage and split it in half, take a split half and at the centre of the bottom, on the inside cut an inverted v to remove the stock or the hard part of the cabbage. Now take the cabbage and press it down with your hands to flatten it out, once this is done chop the cabbage from one end to the other into long strands. Now add sliced apples to the cabbage. |

To this add lemon juice and salt, this will help the cabbage to release all its water and further this will help the dressing to stick to the cabbage. After giving it a rest for 10 to 15 minutes, squeeze out the water from the cabbage with light hands, don’t press it too hard. Once this is done, add the hung curd to the cabbage. |

Heat up a small tadka pan, drizzle some oil in it and heat it well. To the hot oil add mustard seeds, along with dried red chillies. Now add chana dal and urad dal for a good crunch in the salad. Put chopped ginger, slit green chillies and some curry leaves and toss them in the pan. Once the dal is lightly roasted, your tadka will be ready. Turn the gas off and pour the tadka over the salad, add some freshly chopped coriander and mix the salad. Once mixed well, the salad will be ready to be plated. |
