    Hi Manjula
    I use your recipes almost every Friday, I cook at a Buddhist Retreat Center in Berkeley CA. I cook for 30-40 people so I multiply your recipes. How much ginger do I need for one tablespoon of ginger juice? I’ll probably shred it with a food processor since i’ll need A LOT. Will this work? I shredded ginger before and the strings were a mess.

    Hi Aunty!
    Lovely recipe. Looks so delicious and colorful. I was wondering if you could do the recipe for a Russian (Olivier) salad. I love it and can’t find a good Indian version of how to make it.
    Thanks!

    You are such a blessing! The dishes are easy to prepare and the cooking does not ever get complicated that even a novice like me has ventured into cooking. My wife is surprised I can cook so well! I have not yet told her I follow your recipes! Ha Ha. I will tell her my secret after a while. Thank you and God bless you.

  15. JS and Sandra

    Very good recipe. My wife and I had this salad for dinner, and it was great! I (JS) am a meat lover, but once a while I don’t mind a vegeterian recipe, only if it’s GOOD (only condition)… and so far, Manjula has provided us with excellent recipes.

    Thank you very much for opening our horizon with Indian and vegetarian receipes.

  16. Ruchi Mehta

    You are really a great help for the ppl who are new to kitchen . .and what i loved about your website is,you have no show off thingy .. like using well equipped kitchen things or background or such . .you are sooooo natural . .the feeling comes as if mom is teaching in her own kitchen. .doesnt look professional at all …

  17. meera

  26. Jayanthi

    Hello Maam,

    I have tried quite a few recipies of yours. And all of them have turned out great. I have also referred your website to quite a few friends of mine. Regarding this black eyed peas recipe can I make the dressing in larger quantities and also can I use it for other salads too?

    1. Manjula Jain

      Hi Jayanthi,
      You can use the dressing for other salad.

  27. Jyoti

    I just found this site last week, and I’ve already made 3 items from your wonderful recipie colection, and they’ve all turned out well! I really am looking forward to trying a lot more of your recipies, and I wonder if you could offer suggestions for what to use instead of some of the canned items you mention. We don’t use any canned products in our home due to health reasons, and would really appreaciate it if you could suggests alternatives.
    Thanks so much of considering my request.

  28. Preiti

  29. Jigna

    great recipe, what else can we use in this recipe instead of potatoes

    1. Manjula Jain

      Hi Jigna,
      Take out the potatoes, cucumber goes well and sometime I do use chopped spinach.

  32. Asha

    Dear Manjula ji,
    thank you for these videos…i use them all the time…
    Can you tell me did you buy or make the ginger juice?

    1. Manjula Jain

      Hi Asha,
      I make the ginger juice as it is very easy, shred the ginger using fine shredder or jester and with your finger squeeze the juice.

      1. Asha

    Manjula, I love love love this salad – even without the mint (no fresh mint at the grocery store this morning).

    I had cooked chickpeas in the fridge already, so I used them instead of the the black-eyed peas, and I think the substitution worked very well.

    I like bean salads for lunch in summer, and this may be the best I have ever made.

  35. Kanu

    Undoubtedly an awesome recipe. loved it!
    Thanks, Manjula Aunty.

    1. Kanu

      Please do post more salad recipes. Thanks!

  36. RJ

    Love your recipes – which brand of olive oil do you use ?

    1. Jaya

      Any brand of grocery store olive oil is fine. Just make sure it’s pure olive oil – extra virgin.

  37. rosey

  39. Priya

    Hi Aunty,

    I don’t like to use canned blackeye-peas can i use the regular one..i need to cook that b4 doing.

    1. Manjula Jain

      Hello Priya,
      Soak the peas before you cook them.

    2. Jaya

      They need to be soaked for several hours such as over night and then cook them, preferably in the pressure cooker to save time.
