TANDOORI STARTER SIDE SALAD
Jump to Recipe

Tandoori starter side salad is a fresh, crisp and colorful side salad served alongside tandoori starters, made with fresh vegetables. It is lightly seasoned with lemon juice, chaat masala, chilly powder and a touch of salt.

Tandoori starter side salad has a refreshing crunch, zesty flavour with a mild tanginess to it. It provides a perfect contrast to the smoky, spicy and richly marinated flavours of tandoori dishes.
