Koshimbir is a raw vegetables salad served along with the meal course in Maharasthra. It is similar to the Kosambari dish of Karnataka. First time I had this was in a restaurant in Bangalore and loved it having Cucumber and moong dhal, both my favorites. Tried this for the first time and I served it as a side for my lunch the other day and we enjoyed it.
Ingredients:
Cucumber - Peeled & chopped - 2 cups
Moong dhal - 1/4 cup
Green chilli - 1
Oil - 1/2 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1/4 tsp
Coriander leaves - To garnish
Salt - to taste
Method:
Wash and soak the dhal for an hour. Drain and mix with the chopped cucumber.
Heat oil and pop the mustard seeds and add chopped green chilli. Pour the seasoning over the cucumber-dhal and mix. Add salt while serving so that it doesn't leave water. Garnish with cilantro/coriander leaves and serve as side/salad.
