Monday: Salad Time

Fruity Yogurt

This sweet and salty salad is really great to have. It’s nutritious, light and, for vegetarians especially, it provides good proteins in the form of the Yoghurt as well as the sprouts.

Ingredients:

200 ml (or 1 tin) Yoghurt

1 apple (cut into cubes)

1 potato (boiled and cut into cubes)

1 handful Bean sprouts

Salt, sugar, pepper to taste

1 tsp olive oil

¼ tsp mustard seeds (rye)

2 – 3 curry leaves (people can use curry powder if they don’t have access to the leaves)

Red chilli powder / paprika powder / or the take away pizza sachets chili flakes for garnish

(optional) Green part of Spring onion for Garnish

Method:

·         Take a bowl and put the apples, sprouts and potatoes in there

·         In another bowl whisk together the yoghurt, salt, sugar and pepper so that there are no lumps and it’s smooth

·         Pour that into the first bowl (don’t mix together yet!!)

·         On a small flame, take olive oil heat slightly (if there is any smoke coming out of the olive oil, you need to throw it away and restart)

·         Put the mustard seeds and the curry leaves in the oil and let it splutter

·         Pour all of this beautiful mixture in your yoghurt and salad bowl

·         Mix it all gently together and serve garnished with some red chili powder/paprika powder or chili flakes

·         I’ve put some green part of spring onions here for garnish and a little crunch, but that’s because I had some extra. It’s upto you to put this as garnish

This is really great for a 4pm snack as well filling and delicious plus has the sweet quotient of the Tea and the salty quotient of a nice khari biscuit so tones down my cravings and replaces it with a healthier option!!
