I live in upstate SC, and we found Chai Pani, and drive up at least once every two weeks. We are IN LOVE. My favorite food, my favorite restaurant. What a generosity of spirit for Chai Pani to share this incredible recipe.

Loved your cumin-lime Sev salad when we visited NC! We have hundreds of Indian restaurants here in the UK, but they don’t serve zingy fresh salad type dishes. Thank you so much for recipe!
Your recipes are amazing! What a resource. When are you coming to Greenville, SC?
How very generous of Chai Pani to post the recipe for this amazing salad.
For the nights when the wait is just a bit too long( but worth it every time).
