RECIPE

Carrot and cashew nut salad

I like the sweetness of this dish and the fact that you can spice it up with extra chilli.

Gajjar Bhaji (Carrots with Cashews) is a vegetable dish of Northern India. Typically, dishes from this part of India reflect the temperate climate, with root vegetables growing in abundance. It serves 4 people as a side dish, and complements any selection of curries.

  • Fry the onion and carrots in the oil for a few minutes in a large pan.
  • Add the ginger, spices and the flour. Stir for a few minutes, then add the cashew nuts and the water.
  • The liquid should thicken. Cover the pan and cook on a low heat for about 20 minutes until the carrots are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Finish the dish by adding the tomato wedges to the pan and allowing them to cook for a few minutes until they have just softened.
