Kosambari / Carrot Salad


This week I'm paired with Swetha of  Experiments, Emotions, Experiences with food & I chose kosambari for my blog hop this week.Her version is a little different from the traditional kosambari. She avoided pulses from the recipe & it makes kosambari a healthy veggie salad.  


Ingredients
1 Cup grated carrot 
1/2 Cup chopped onions
2 Tbs grated coconut
2 Green chilli's sliced 
1 Tbs lemon juice 
Pinch of salt
Cilantro for garnish


For Grated carrots
Wash carrots and wipe them with a cloth. Peel off the skin with a peeler & grate them.


Mix carrot, onion, green chilli & coconut in a bowl. Add salt & lemon juice to the mixed veggies & mix them well. Garnish with finely chopped cilantro and serve this salad as a side dish.


I had kosambari before but I just couldn't remember when I had it. I was breaking my head to get back my memories.But while writing this post I realized that when I was in san diego we had a kannadiga friend who served this amazing salad for lunch & that's where I had it.
