Peanut Sauce & salad


Someone's rightly said "The way to a person's (not just a MAN - modifying a little bit) heart is through his stomach!! I thought let me also start a new area of healthy recipes from my experiments with food (of course with valuable inputs from various people including the Health awareness centre). So here's something for starters:

Vegetables for the salad:-
Cabbage, tomato, potato, cucumber, carrot, french beans, capsicum - 400 gms. You can also take veggies like baby corn, red & yellow peppers, broccoli etc.

Peanut sauce:-
Roasted peanuts - 100 gms
Roasted chilli powder, jaggery, tamarind to taste; salt to taste
Method:-
cube vegetables - steam potato & french beans
mix all the ingredients for the sauce, add a little water and blend into a smooth paste

Serve:-
You can mix the sauce well with the vegetables and have it as a salad
Can also cut vegetables into sticks and serve the sauce with it as a dip. It goes very well as a biting with your drinks too :-)

Savour the taste of completely healthy, nutritive and delicious food....... Did anyone say its lunchtime????
