This combo may seem wild, but trust us--it works. Indian-American chef and cookbook author Raghavan Iyer developed it to have everything he thinks a perfect recipe should: a balance of heat, sweetness, a little pucker and a hit of salt combined with a tango of textures.

Ingredients

3 dried small red chiles, such as chile de arbol, stemmed
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 medium yellow or russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 (7 ounce) package mung bean sprouts
1 ½ cups medium strawberries, quartered
¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
Butter lettuce for serving

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chiles, coriander seeds and cumin seeds. Toast, shaking the pan frequently, until the chiles blacken and the seeds turn reddish brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
Add oil to the pan and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add potatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy and cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
Meanwhile, finely grind the chiles and spices in a clean spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle.
Add the ground spices to the potatoes along with sprouts, strawberries, cilantro, lime juice and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Scoop the salad onto lettuce leaves and serve at room temperature.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
