Cabbage yogurt salad

There are some vegetables that I cannot eat raw. Cabbage is one among them. But somehow I like this salad very much. It doesn't have any raw smell of cabbage too.

Cabbage mixed with peanut and yogurt gives a unique taste. The best salad to beat the summer. Try this and for sure no one will believe it is a cabbage.

Ingredients:
  • Cabbage - 1/2 cup (finely chopped)
  • Peanuts - 1/4 cup
  • Yogurt - 1 cup
  • Salt - to taste
To temper: (optional)
  • Oil - 1/2 tsp
  • Mustard seeds - 1/4 tsp
  • Curry leaves - 5
  • Green chilly -1 (slitted into half)
Method:

Chop the cabbage finely. Roast the peanuts in a pan or microwave it for 2 minutes depending upon the quantity and microwave temperature. After it cools down, remove the skin. Using a processor or blender grind it roughly. Do not make it powder. In a large bowl mix cabbage, peanuts, yogurt and salt.
If you like to temper heat a small pan and add the ingredients one by one in the same order. Then mix in the salad. Stir yogurt.
 Keep refrigerated. Serve chill.
