DISH NAME : SALLAS (ONION SALAD)
Preparation Time : 10 minutes
Cooking Time : No cooking
Chilling Time : Resting time-1 hour.
Description
This is a simple salad typical of Kerala. Sallas is usually found with any non veg festive meal.
Note
1) Green chillies can be increased or decreased according to spiciness. I used birds eye chillies typical of Kerala, known as "kanthari".
2) I used coconut vinegar, you can use any vinegar.
3) Original taste of this salad lies in adding coconut oil, if you do not have or don't like coconut oil, substitute with any other oil.
| Quantity | Name |
|---|---|
| 1 Cup | Onion thinely sliced |
| 1 Tsp. | Greeen chillies,chopped |
| 1 Tbsp. | Vinegar |
| 2 Tsp. | Coconut oil |
| Salt to taste | |
| 1 Cup | Cold water |
| 1 Sprig | Curry leaves |
Method
1) Soak onion in cold water for about 15 to 20 minutes. Squueze out water after that time. This removes the sharpness or pungency of raw onion.
2) Mix all the other ingredients with onion. Serve after about 45 minutes to 1 hr.
Variations:-
1) Add yoghurt, instead of vinegar. In that case, omit coconut oil.
2) Shredded cabbage or thin slices of tomato can also be added.
Serving Suggestions
Serve after 45 minutes to 1 hour after mixing together.
