Carrot has high content of vitamins A, B and beta carotene which prevents night blindness. Best to take carrots in raw form as salads.
Ingredients
Serves 2-3
1 large carrot grated into thin strips
1 onion diced
Handful of curry leaves thinly sliced
1 of each fresh green and red chili finely sliced
2 tbsp low fat yoghurt (optional)
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt to taste
Method
Mix all ingredients in a bowl, serve immediately with rice.
Wonderful salad...I have never used curry leaves in this way. Sounds and looks delicious :)
ReplyDeleteTnk u for your lovely comment, curry leaves when consumed raw has very good health benefits. Mixing them with plain yoghurt and carrot is a tastier way to consume this healthy herb.
ReplyDeleteThis is so colorful!!! perfect side dish to go with bowl of rice:)
ReplyDeleteYes this with rice, lentils, gravy, papadam and curd chilis makes a complete Sri Lankan meal.
