1/4 cup boiled corn
1/4 cup chopped coriander
2 chopped green chilies

Method
Grate the carrot and radish. Squeeze out water from them and keep to chill. At the time of serving mix in rest of the ingredients. Toss and serve.

Think different : to make it Italian add mixed herbs or any one of dips we make in class or then the chili oil. Corn can be substituted for sprouts too.

This is how we make the recipes work for us one salad can be made different every time.

Hey Rajul

My son is a Hakka Noodles fan and he was so excited about the new Chinese recipes. I made Hakka, Fried Rice, Schezwan Fried Rice and Vegetables in garlic sauce. We all had a lovely chinese treat on Sunday evening - thanks to you! The noodles came out great - just like the restaurant style :)

Cheers,
