We have here the Indian version of this salad... With curry ofcourse but now with curry leaves, hing, chana daal, urad daal (all indian flavoring)... Instead of using coriander, cilantro was used... they call it Kosambri

Here instead of using black mustard seed sunflower seed was added and the mustard was added to the sauce.... coriander was substitute by dill and lime juice by balsamic vinegar... Radish was also added...
