Cold grilled meats are the basis for this salad, be it tandoori chicken, Kastoori kabab, chicken tikka, etc.  The salad is so delicious, I could eat it everyday!  Stuff it into pita bread or chapati or roti, for a tasty and sumptuous sandwich.  Leftover grilled chicken works well for this salad.  I simply love this salad and so will you!! Oh so colorful too……
