Karl’s Carrot and Apple Salad

Last week, I made Uyghur bierocks for dinner. I made some Uyghur carrot salad to go with it. However, I got a bit heavy handed with the Indian chili powder. My salad was so spicy not even Eilene—who has a high tolerance for such things—could eat more than a few bites.

Note: While Indian chili powder has a lot of flavor, it is whole ground chilies—seeds and all—so it is a lot hotter then the chile powders made with the dried pericarp alone.

I had made so many bierocks—and they were so good—that we had them for dinner a second night. I decided to make a sweet, rather than spicy, carrot to go with it. This salad turned out to be much better.
