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.

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

Lentil & Charred Broccoli Chat

Lentil & Charred Broccoli Chat

“This is an interpretation of the way I look at today’s eating habits and trends. Chaat masala is readily available in every grocery in India. When I first combined chaat with balsamic vinegar and honey, the chaat went to another level. You can substitute any kind of beans and lentils and cauliflower can  replace the broccoli." – Ratnani
