Method

  1. Combine the palm or molasses sugar, soy sauce and tamarind paste or lime juice in a small jug. Set aside.
  2. Mix the remaining ingredients, except the poppadums, together in a bowl.
  3. To serve, toss the dressing into the salad. Pile a teaspoonful onto each poppadum and serve immediately to prevent the poppadums from softening in the dressing.
