Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water chestnut
  • 1 tablespoon ghee
  • ½ teaspoon rock salt
  • ⅓ teaspoon chili flakes
  • ⅓ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon mixed herbs
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 5 basil leaves
  • ½ cup hung yogurt
  • 2 tablespoon Green chutney suitable for fasting
  • 2 tablespoon walnuts crushed
  • 1 tablespoon ragi crackers optional

Instructions
 

  • Sauté the Water Chestnuts: In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté the water chestnuts until they're crispy. This gives them a light, crunchy texture.
  • Season: Once crispy, season the water chestnuts with rock salt, chili flakes, cumin, mixed herbs, sesame seeds, and fresh basil. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
  • Prepare the Base: In a bowl, whisk together hung yogurt (or whipped ricotta) with fresh green chutney until smooth. This will serve as the creamy foundation for the salad.
  • Assemble the Salad: Spoon the yogurt-chutney mixture into a serving bowl and top with the seasoned water chestnuts.
  • Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of crumbled walnuts and crushed ragi crackers for added crunch.
  • Serve & Enjoy: Your refreshing and crispy Singhada Salad is ready to serve!

Notes

  • Sauté evenly: Ensure that the water chestnuts are sautéed on medium heat to achieve an even crispiness.
  • Adjust seasoning: Taste and adjust salt and chili flakes according to your preference.
  • Serve fresh: This salad is best served immediately to keep the water chestnuts crispy and the yogurt mixture creamy.
