Description

Tandoori chicken salad . Salad was rocket science to me until I realized that its just a combination of raw vegetables with a dressing and few crispy garnishes to pike it up . This salad was the first salad that I came up with when I first started to cook but with out the tandoori chicken and the crushed pepper paped . From then till date , I religiously make this salad with a few twists every time a salad is required on the table as its fuss free , so simple to make , high in taste and all the ingredients are cupboard friendly at home . This salad is a great healthy eating option as there is no oil used . The nutritional boost of this salad will make it your go to food to beat the diet flunk . I made this salad when my friend meera aboo thamby had come over for lunch along with her family . Her hubby aboo ( Annan ) just loved this salad that he made sure to pack the left overs before they left . I made four salads and still this salad managed to stand out among them all . The best part being it was the easiest salad to pull of and even beginners can raise a lot of eye brows around .
