Salad/ Koshimbir

Koshimbir in maharashtra is a must have side with lunch. Its a salad where in all ingredients are grated or finely chopped so as to consume more quantity and more ingredients instead of just picking up one single at one time.

There is no set rule for what to add.
this is a simple example to add the basic salad ingredients...

onions -2 finely chopped
cucumber - 2 finely chopped
tomatoes - 2 finely chopped
carrots - 2 finely chopped
reddish -1 finely chopped
cabbage - 1/4th or say 1/2 cup finely chopped

green chilies 2-3 finely chopped
coriander - 2 tbsp finely chopped
salt, pepper sugar to taste

all this can be just mixed and eaten or we can temper it with 1 sp oil n rai or
to enhance taste add curd to it.

Instant microwave dhokla

Being in land of missiles...errr....remember 3 idiots yes the MISSILES i mean are dhokla, khakra, fafda, gathiya, well i never felt that they are missiles as i love these snacks or what gujju's call them "farsan" the ultimate namkin.
If u order a thali it accompanies the 'farsan' for sure so gujjus cant skip this be it any occasion, a regular thalli or a chai ki pyali, a marriage function or railway junction....
