Ingredients Serving: 4

  1. Green Mango, grated finely - 1
  2. Onion - 3 to 4 medium sliced finely, divided into two parts (keep 4 tbsp aside for frying)
  3. Garlic - 10 to 12 cloves, sliced finely
  4. Roasted peanuts - a handful, crushed
  5. Roasted white sesame/til - 2 to 3 tbsp
  6. Dry red chillies, coarsely grounded/Red chili flakes - 2 tsp
  7. Sattu/Roasted chickpea powder/Roasted besan - 1/2 cup
  8. Oil - for frying
  9. Salt - to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a small pan over medium-low heat, enough for deep-frying.
  2. In multiple batches, deep fry the sliced onions (reserve 1/2 an onion or 4 tbsp sliced onion) until they are light brown and crisp. Drain over paper towels, let it cool completely and store in an air-tight jar.
  3. In the same oil, deep fry the thinly sliced garlic until they are golden brown and crisp. Drain over paper towels, then let it cool completely and store in an air-tight jar.
  4. In the same oil, deep fry the dry long red chilies until they are slightly browned. Drain over paper towels, then let it cool completely and grind into a powder form. Store in an air-tight jar.
  5. Turn off heat, once the oil has cooled, transfer it to a clean and dry jar. (Use this magic oil to dress this salad.)
  6. Just before serving, combine the grated raw mango, fried onions, garlic, fresh onion slices, roasted chickpea powder, crushed peanuts, magic oil and salt. Stir it well to combine. It will be a little sticky, but that's how it's supposed to be.
  7. Just before serving, top it with roasted sesame seeds and crushed red chilli or chilli flakes.
