Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1If the 1 cup of Gundruk (fermented mustard greens) feels very dry, place it in a bowl and soak it in warm water for 5 minutes to soften. Then, squeeze out all the excess water.
2. 2Finely chop the 1/4 cup Red Onion, 1 small Green Chilies, 1 clove Garlic, and 2 tablespoons Cilantro. Place these chopped ingredients into a medium-sized bowl.
3. 3Add the prepared 1 cup of Gundruk (fermented mustard greens) to the bowl with the chopped vegetables.
4. 4Place a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the 1 tablespoon of Mustard Oil and heat it until it just begins to smoke slightly, which should take about 1-2 minutes. Carefully remove the pan from the heat and let the oil cool for 3-5 minutes until the smoking stops.
5. 5Pour the slightly cooled 1 tablespoon of Mustard Oil over the gundruk and vegetable mixture in the bowl. Add the 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric Powder and 1/4 teaspoon Salt.
6. 6Mix all the ingredients in the bowl thoroughly until everything is well combined. The salad is ready to serve immediately.
