Fried Salad


Well, that is technically what Indian Rojak is. You choose from this array of deep fried things that call your name as you walk past - I responded and chose battered shrimp from top left, whole potoato fried in turmeric bottom right and a sausage type thing from top right . The lady at the back cuts up all the fried stuff and adds some freshly chopped cucumber and raw onion (that's the salad part) and you are handed a thick red sweet chilli sauce with peanuts in it to drench everything in. Do you see a big vat of oil with things being fried- no that's done at home earlier- what you see and hear is the lady cutting up raw vegetables. It's genius because the salad part yins the fried yang and it's de-li-cious. Consumed without guilt at Tekka market in Singapore.
