This crispy, refreshing, and flavorful Indian Cabbage Salad is a delicious side dish. The best part is that it’s made by adding tempering to the salad which gives it an amazing flavor.

- Crush the roasted peanuts in a mini chopper or grinder and transfer them to the bowl.
- In a tempering pan, heat some oil on medium heat. Add mustard seeds, let them crackle. Next add cumin seeds, letting them crackle as well, and switch off the heat.
- Next, add some asafoetida, turmeric, and green chillies.
- Pour the tempering over the cabbage. Squeeze some fresh lime juice, salt, and sugar.

Notes
- Finely cut the cabbage for the best testing cabbage salad. You can add the cabbage in a food processor as well for convenience. I personally like to chop it with a knife.
- Do not skip adding the tempering in the recipe. It is the star of this salad and tastes so amazing.
