Ingredients:

4 cups thinly sliced veggies - a mix of red onion, carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, and daikon

2 tablespoons tamarind (imli)

½ cup water

½ teaspoon black salt (kala namak)

½ teaspoon salt

½ tablespoon brown sugar

½ teaspoon deghi mirch

Juice of half a lime

¼ cup chopped cilantro

Directions:

Soak the imli in water for ½ an hour to an hour. In the meantime, slice all the veggies into thin julienne style strips.
Squeeze any seeds out of the imli and strain it through a sieve. Keep the water and toss the pulp bits.
Add the imli water and seasonings to a bowl. Toss in your veggies, top with cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

Hot Tip:

If you are making this salad ahead of time, keep the imli water in a separate bowl and toss just before serving.
