Sliced Punjabi Salad 

Chef Raj Thandhi Darpan, 14 Apr, 2025
  • Sliced Punjabi Salad 

 

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.
