PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Serve immediately after mixing, as the akhoi will become soggy if it sits for too long.
2
For extra flavor and texture, you can add finely chopped boiled potato or tomato.
3
The pungency of mustard oil is key to this recipe. Use a good quality, cold-pressed mustard oil for the authentic taste.
4
Adjust the amount of green chilies to suit your preferred spice level.
5
Ensure your akhoi is crisp. If it feels soft, dry roast it in a pan on low heat for 2-3 minutes until it's crunchy again, then let it cool before using.
