Koshimbir / Maharashtrian Style Salad is a refreshing salad made in Maharastrian household. A tempering made by crackling mustard seeds, green chili, curry leaves and asafoetida in hot oil gives a unique taste to the salad. The mouthwatering aroma from asafoetida, and green chili is released when the hot tempering is poured on the salad. Crushed roasted peanuts gives crunchiness to the salad. Different variations of koshimbir are made and served as an accompaniment in a traditional Maharashtrian thali. It is a treat for people following a vegan diet.
