"Roasted And Spiced Groundnut~Onion Koshimbir (Salad) served with Kokum Rasam" ... A delicious starter that can be served with any drinks of your choice or for a time pass break too ... Yummilicious .........
** A few days back I had posted “Roasted & Spiced Groundnut” famous as congress kadlalekayi a few days back. It was posted by dear Shobana akka which I had followed. At that time another friend of mine gave me a fantastic tip of preparing koshimbir/salad out of the same with addition of spices and onions. She told me it goes down very well when drinks are served at parties. Well we are teetotaler, but the tip she shared made me so intrigued that I just good not rest till I prepared the same. It’s raining heavily for past 10 days in Mumbai and there is also a chill in the air that makes you uncomfortable at nights unless you stay warm. So I prepare a lot of hot steaming soups for dinner and today I decided to have a light dinner with koshimbir along with some hot soup. But somehow soup did not appeal today, so decided to prepare rasam which is also an appetizer that we relish as soup in my home.
** I had been wanting to prepare Kokum Rasam for a long time now, as it is highly beneficial to health with the added goodness of kokum. So I finalized on kokum rasam and trust me it was a fantastic combo. The rasam is simply fantastic and the same has been posted in the blog a few days back. So will add on the links to both the dishes and write in only the method of preparing the koshimbir. This time I have prepared with only onions, but I feel you can also add on grated carrots and finely chopped cucumber too, if desired. Maybe cabbage too, I have yet to try those combinations, unfortunately I cannot do it for a few more days as the spiced groundnuts have been emptied and I have to prepare them again. You can also season/temper this if required, well that is my assumption, yet to try various possibilities, till then enjoy this version.
** Thanks to Kiran Nayak Chellappa for the koshimbir tip and Shobana Rao akka for the roasted and spiced groundnut recipe.
