Carrot Salad (Kosimbir)



Kosimbir is one of the most famous salads of Central India. Here's a recipe with Ruebli, it's easy to make. The roasted peanuts also make this salad high in protein. I do this a lot for the kids and to take me to school and work. You can make this salad very quickly.


Tip: If you're making the salad to go, instead of toasting, soak the peanuts in water for 15 minutes and add to the salad.
