Indian Side Salad (0 syns)

This is a delicious recipe. You wouldn't think it at first with the malt vinegar and apples. Sounds yuk but if you try it, I am sure you will love it. This recipe comes from my dad - Dharam Pal Mehay, and goes to show how the Indians adapted the local food (like malt vinegar) to their own tastes.
