Shredded Carrot Salad

(Gajjar Ka Salaad)

The Nala Paka team made a shredded carrot salad and tamarind rice for the feast; these versions of the festival dishes have been selected for the home cook. This salad traditionally is served as a side dish. Adapted from "The Everything Indian Cookbook," by Monica Bhide (Adams Media Corp., 2004).

2 cups carrots, peeled and shredded

2 tablespoons roasted salted peanuts, chopped

1 serrano chili pepper, seeded and minced

2 tablespoons lemon juice
