This was actually REALLY good! My husband said the verdict is still out on it but he ate it all anyway! :)

I would have used a little more lemon juice and perhaps an english cucumber. This would go great alongside a spicy dish, such as a curry!

Such preparation is in practice in restaurants/hotels where kabab or grilled snacks are served.It is quite tasty and made from locally produced yugurt known as DHODHI or DOI. Thanks for presenting a healthy recipe.

This is a great salad. For a variation, try making it with rice wine, instead of the vinegar. The sunflower seeds add great crunch. Yum!
