Carrot salad
Usually I try to make a salad at dinner. In winter there is a wide variety of vegetables available in the market.  Particularly carrots, we call it 'delhi carrots'. These are very juicy and sweet. So the salad also tastes  sweet.

1/2 tsp asafoetida
1/4 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp fresh lemon juice


Method

• Wash and grate the carrots
