Yummy

Since the title of my blog is yoga cafe I thought I should post a recipe now and again. This one is a favorite among both volunteers and participants at any Isha Yoga program. It is also time for a shameless plug: you can purchase A Taste of Isha Cookbook through Isha Shoppe.

Carrot and Green Gram Salad
3 Tbsp Isha Seasoning (see description Below)
1 1/2 cups carrots grated
2 cups Green Gram sprouted
2/3 cup coconut grated
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1-2 tbsp lemon/lime juice
1/4 bunch cilantro, finely chopped

Isha Seasonings:
3/4 cup cooking oil
2 Tbsp black mustard seeds
1/4 cup channa dhal
1/4 cup urad dhal
6 stems fresh curry leaves, chop leaves only

Heat oil to medium high heat then add black mustard seeds until seeds pop. Reduce heat to medium and add channa dhal until the color of the dhal chages from yellow to light brown. Then ad urad dhal and stir until the color of the dhal chages from white to light brown. Add fresh chopped curry leaves and remove from heat.

Combine all ingredients. Garnish with cilantro.

Enjoy
