Just want to say "Hello!" with a simplest radish salad.

My life used to revolve around books, studying and of course "Kitchen!" till last year. But by the end of 2010, I had to move out of home to be on my own and cut myself from mom's kitchen and my cooking experiments. Although, for two months and a half, during my training in Chennai, I was cooking along with a friend and colleague of mine. But after I got relocated to Bangalore, everything came to a stand still with no chance to cook. :(

That is the main reason why this blog looks deserted most of the times. In some time I'll get back to cooking and I wouldn't wait try out newer recipes which I have learnt from different people and also trying out the recipes from cookbooks which I read when I miss cooking will be on my list. :)

As I've already decided to write something, let me post a simple salad which you can make effortlessly. Radish is something I always disliked. It doesn't seem to taste good when its cooked in a sambar, but, a raw radish sliced finely in a salad has won my heart. This salad was introduced to me during the Chennai days by my friend Shruddha. At first, I was taken aback with raw radish being added. Later, I loved it!. We used to make this whenever it was possible. I totally enjoyed those days. I still remember we used to have a walk in a nearby park with pretty swans around. The phase that I miss the most these days.

Ingredients (For a bowl of Salad)

2 medium sized radish washed, peeled and finely sliced
1 medium sized tomato, finely chopped
1 full cup of fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
2 green chillies finely chopped
1/2 a lemon's juice
Salt to taste

Mehod

Mix all the ingredients together. Serve with any spicy dish. This is best with biriyani. Or you can just eat it plain.

Happy Cooking :)
