This mango salad brings together some of the most popular fresh flavours of India!

So many different flavours!

Though it’s true that many of the ingredients in the mango salad didn’t make their way to India until quite late, they are all very popular in Indian cooking now.

With this salad, I wanted to bring them all together. I think you will agree that this mango salad is perfect for the warmer Spring and Summer months. I like serving it at barbecues. There are so many interesting flavours and textures.

It goes well with other types of food too but I have yet to make an Indian dish which wasn’t the perfect companion for this fresh, bright, sweet and somewhat tangy salad.

I have used sesame oil which isn’t used in many Indian recipes though it is starting to be more popular in Indian cookery lately.

• 1 large handful of finely chopped coriander
• 1 large handful of finely chopped mint

4. Add the crushed roasted peanuts just before serving.

6. I love serving this mango salad with tandoori meat, chicken or fish. In fact, it is really good served with lightly seasoned white fish as it has such a nice flavour that is not overpowering when eaten with the fish.
