Kanda Tomato Chi Koshimbir (Tomato Onion Mixed Salad)

A simple and healthy finger-licking side dish. A perfect accompaniment for your meal.

Ingredients: (Serves- approx 2)
 
1 Onion
2 Tomatoes
2 Green Chillies
2 tbsp Daanyacha kut ( Roasted Peanut Powder)
1 tsp Sugar (Optional)
Salt to taste
1 tbsp Oil
1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds
1/4th tsp Turmeric Powder
1/4th tsp Hing (Asafoetida)
Coriander leaves for garnish

Method:

Finely chop onion, tomatoes and green chillies. Transfer it into a bowl.

Add roasted peanut powder, sugar, salt and mix well. Sugar is added just to overcome the sourness of tomatoes and to enhance the flavor.

Tempering:

In a small kadhai (wok) add oil and mustard seeds. When mustard seeds crackle add turmeric powder and hing..

Add this tempering over the chopped onion & tomato mixture and mix well.

Garnish with cilantro (coriander) and serve.

Note: You may chop onion and tomatoes roughly as per your preference. This koshimbir is very refreshing and goes very well with Poli (Indian bread/chapati) and Dal ( Lentil Curry) Rice.

The main flavor of this koshimbir comes from the roasted peanut powder so don't eliminate it or else it will taste differently. Enjoy !
