Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Potatoes — Make sure to boil the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking can result in mushy potatoes, which may affect the texture of the salad.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a spicier version, increase the amount of red chili powder according to your taste preference.
  • You can add a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra tangy flavor.
  • Feel free to customize the salad by adding other vegetables of your choice, such as corn or peas.
  • To make it more filling, you can add boiled eggs or grilled chicken as additional toppings.
  • Make sure to refrigerate the salad for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
