For the Dressing
Soak the raisins in just enough water until they become plump. If in a hurry, soak for a few minutes in just enough warm water. Take carrots, raisins, peanuts, coriander leaves and sesame seeds in a bowl.
For the dressing, mix together lemon juice, garlic, date paste, cumin seeds, salt and black pepper powder in a small bowl and add to the carrot mixture. Toss well. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
Variations
Julienne the carrots (cut into matchsticks like in Chinese cooking), steam lightly and chill them before mixing with the rest of the ingredients.
You could substitute carrots with beetroot.
