Grated Carrot Salad

You will need:

• 1 cup grated carrots
• 1 tbsp sweet raisins
• 1/2 tsp minced ginger
• 1 tsp chopped cilantro
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Rock salt to taste (optional)
• 1/4 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp black or brown mustard seed
• 1 pinch hing (asafetida)
• 1 tbsp ghee

Combine carrots, raisins, salt, pepper, cilantro, ginger and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix well.

Heat ghee in a pan until clear. Add mustard seeds and wait for them to pop. (Hold a lid over the pan to prevent the seeds from dancing everywhere). Add asafetida.

Pour the hot ghee-spice dressing on the salad. Mix well.
