A simple Carrot Koshimbir/ Salad Recipe

Carrots-The red beauties are a rich source of beta-carotene, antioxidants, and fiber. They are also a good source of vitamins A, and C, iron, folate, potassium, etc.


Here in Mumbai, we get carrots almost all around the year. But these carrots don’t look or taste as great as the local seasonal red carrots which are available during winter.

Apart from eating them raw, one of my favourite recipes with these carrots is a simple easy quick, and tasty carrot Koshimbir/salad.

Ingredients:

Red carrots-3 grated

Green chillies-2-3

Roasted peanuts (slightly crushed)- 1/2 cup

Lime juice-2 Tsp

Salt-as per taste

Sugar-a pinch

Grated coconut and coriander for garnishing

Procedure:

  • Wash carrots thoroughly. Grate them.
  • Vertically slit green chilies and add it to the grated carrot.
  • Add in the roasted and crushed peanut, salt, sugar and lime juice. Mix properly.
  • Garnish with finely chopped coriander and grated coconut.
  • Serve it with food or have it with roti/bhakri. It tastes equally good with both.

Make sure you enjoy the local season carrots. Try this recipe and give ur review.
