  9. Hi Manjula Ji,

    Can I replace the cabbage with any other vegetable, as I do not eat cabbage since the time it was published in newspapers that it may have some minute insects which causes nervous disorder.

  13. Thank you for sharing such an easy, yet refreshing and flavorful recipe. My family loved it and requested that I make this salad again for them.

    P.S. I used canned chickpeas in place of channa dal and cilantro leaves instead of basil, only because I did not have these ingredients available.

  14. Thank you manjula aunty for wonderful vegetarian recpies.. I am so addicted to it that have been using it for almost all my cooking.. YOu are amazing!!!

  19. Thank you so much for this and all the other vegetarian/vegan receipes. Your cooking is a treasure. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. All the very best to you!

  21. Oh my, is this salad good!!! The way the flavors mix with the wonderful dressing is extremely tasty, even better the next day. The only thing I did different was use red lentils because that is what I had in my pantry. I am going to make a big batch of this salad for our upcoming block party!

  25. Its really fantastic style to eat green vegetables in form of salad.

    Its nice to see your recipes and to prepare in our meals. Please provide us a recipe of Dal Bati and Dal Puri.

    Regards,

  27. This was the perfect salad served as a bed under roasted salmon with a yogurt dressing made with lime juice, salt, ginger, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, red pepper and fresh cilantro. Served with Manjula’s Green Beans and Peas vegetable side dish made the dinner a complete success. One minor change in the green bean recipe, I used fresh green beens and sweet peas instead of frozen.

  28. hello manjulaben, i am really impressed with your mouthwatring receipe. you make it very easy with live vidieo. it attrack me a lot to see everday. easy for everyone. thanks a lot.

  32. Manjula,thank you for your lovely recipes,
    I am a bulgarian and have been to India twice and i am in love with indian cusine and im really happy that i can cook now this foor at home 🙂
    Its great!
    Please manjula tell me,for this salad cant we simply use canned chana(chick peas)?
    It would be faster and easier

    Thanks a lot. Appreciation

  34. I boiled the chana dal for several minutes because I wanted the dal a little softer than it was after 2 hours of soaking. Suggestion: Use 1/2 teaspoon of salt to start- add more later after mixing dressing with salad if needed. I found 1 teaspoon too much for my taste. I added one small red potato that had been cooked and cut into small cubes. I also added one small green chilli finely minced. I didn’t have cucumber, but the salad worked fine without it. Bon Apetit.

  38. Simple way of explaining. Looks gorgeous. A good party salad. Really nice guide for good food. Please add some continental baked dishes as health food.Also add some more varieties of salads. Thanks
