Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Use a food processor to grate 250 grams of cauliflower into rice-sized pieces.

Step 2

Lightly sauté the cauliflower rice in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 5 minutes until slightly tender. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

Finely dice the medium cucumber, medium tomato, and small onion. Chop the green chili and fresh coriander leaves as well.

Step 4

If using raw peanuts, dry roast them in a pan over medium heat until they are golden brown and fragrant. Allow them to cool, then roughly chop them.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower rice, diced cucumber, tomato, onion, chopped chili, coriander leaves, and peanuts.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of tamarind paste, and 1 tablespoon of mint chutney to form a dressing.

Step 7

Add the dressing to the mixing bowl with the salad ingredients and toss everything together to combine.

Step 8

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cumin powder, 1 teaspoon of chat masala, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black salt over the mixture and toss again to incorporate the spices evenly.

Step 9

Serve immediately on individual plates or bowls. If desired, top each serving with 20 grams of sev for an extra crunchy texture.
