ONION-CARROT SALAD
We used to buy chicken tikka from a restaurant ,Kalavara , in Trivandrum. The tikka was accompanied by mint chutney and this onion carrot salad. It was our favourite. The carrots in the salad were finely julienned and also long. It tasted so good with the smoky flavored chicken tikkas.
