Question 1

What is jamun, and where can I find it?

Accepted Answer

During the summer and early monsoon, you can get fresh jamun, also known as Java plum, in Indian marketplaces. This fruit has a rich purple colour and a sweet-tart flavour.

Question 2

Can I substitute feta if I don’t have it?

Accepted Answer

Of course! For a mild Indian twist, use paneer, and for a dairy-free alternative, use vegan cheese or tofu cubes.

Question 3

Can I eat feta every day?

Accepted Answer

It is fine to consume moderate amounts of feta cheese on a daily basis. Enjoy it with plenty of fresh fruits and nutritious grains for a perfect balance, as it contains a higher salt content.

Question 4

Is this really a no-cook salad?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Simply chop, toss, and dress; no cooking required, no hassle involved.
