The steps required to prepare this simple salad are –
Step 1: Chop the broccoli and carrots
Firstly, to prepare this healthy and delicious salad, you need to peel the carrots and then slice or dice them into bite-sized pieces. Then, wash the broccoli and cut it into small florets. Chop some coriander leaves separately for garnishing the salad.
Step 2: Take a pan and heat water
Now, on a medium flame put a heavy-bottomed pan and heat water in it for cooking broccoli and carrots.
Step 3: Cook it for 2 minutes
In the hot water add the broccoli florets and let them cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or till they are tender. In the hot water also add the carrots and let them simmer for a minute.
Step 4: Prepare the salad dressing
Meanwhile, put a pan and heat some oil in it over medium flame to prepare the salad dressing. Then, add some mustard seeds in the hot oil and let them fry for 20-30 seconds. After it, add some spices like garam masala and cumin powder into the pan.
Step 5: Add some seasoning to it
Let the spices fry for a little time (for around 4 to 5 minutes) and then take the pan off the flame. Take a bowl and transfer the fried spices to it. Now, for seasoning, you can mix lemon juice and some salt and black pepper in it.
Step 6: Drain the water
Now, it’s time to switch off the heavy-bottomed pan in which carrots and broccoli florets were getting cooked. Drain the excess water and transfer the cooked vegetables to a big salad mixing bowl.
Step 7: Mix the salad properly
Take a big bowl with the dressing mix and pour the dressing over the carrots and broccoli. Toss and mix the salad together in one direction so that it is well mixed.
