Some of my staple recipes come from my sister-in-law. My regular pulao is her take on the dish. I still remember her pasta salad, which I used to make regularly for a long time.
Another recipe which comes out perfect from her kitchen is this – Kosumalli. This one doesn’t have many fans in my place, my raw food hating husband stays away from it, but my enthusiasm makes up for others lack of it. The softness of cucumber, the bite from the coconut, crunchiness of carrots and dal, the slightly tangy touch of lemon and the wonderful aroma of the seasoning….mmm…oh,YUM!
Try this simple recipe if you are a fan of crunchy, raw food. I know I am!
