Carrot-Raddish Chatpata Salad

With Chapati , curry and raita, we like some kind of salad for accompaniment. We usually eat sliced cucumber, onion or beet root. This is a slight variation to that salad. We do not slice them but shred them and flavour them with chillies and lime juice.
You can make with with carrots alone or raddish ( daikon ) alone or both mixed together.

Carrots and Raddish Mixed


Ingredients
  • Carrots - 2
  • White Raddish ( Daikon ) - 1 small or half of big one.
  • Lemon or Lime Juice - 3 tbsp or to taste
  • Salt - little bit for seasoning
  • Green Chillies - 2-3 or to taste
  • Chopped Cilantro - 2 springs


Directions
  • Shred carrots and raddish in a mixing bowl. ( either or both )
  • Add all the other ingredients. Mix well. Adjust all the ingredients to taste.
  • You can either serve immediately or store it in fridge for a couple of days in a covered box. Raddish has a strong odor so storing it uncovered might spread the odor in the entire fridge.
