Did you know?I don’t know how this half century skipped my mind, how forgetful can I be!!
Personal Tadka is 55 posts old :-O
And while editing this post I saw my follower number too growing by ONE and completing the half century there too. Thanks Priti :)
Talking about statistics here I have got couple of observations about you all:
- At an average on daily basis more than 150 of you turn up but less than 20 comment, Lots of Love and Hugs to all those 20 friends you always make my Day and remaining 130 – do try to make my Day ;)
- Statistically weekend is much less crowded here than on a regular weekday, by this I concluded more couple of things:
- All of us are less busy on weekdays than on weekend, yay !! Office Work rocks!! <:-P
- Being a culinary blog, I think all of us try to go for normal regular weekday recipes than the extravagant dishes, though I hardly prepare them and if I do it’s only for this blog.
- All of us are less busy on weekdays than on weekend, yay !! Office Work rocks!! <:-P
This Note has inspired me to blog on more simpler recipe (more cos you might feel she already posts simple recipes are simple this is one the simplest...) :">
Koshimbir is an integral part of Maharashtrain thali, @ my place Mom used to prepare varied versions of Koshimbirs one in morning and other for dinner. (for non- marathi guys Koshimir = kachumbar\raita= Salads). It’s just one way of having raw veggies in your regular food; it deals with mostly – tomatoes, onion, cucumber, carrot, cabbage etc.
Cucumber – Kakdichi Koshimbir goes off well as a side dish with any spicy sabzi and it has this typical soothing effect especially during this Hot Summers.
Kakdichi Koshimbir
You Need:
- Cucumber: 2 medium sized – peeled and grated \ finely sliced
- Peanut Powder: 3-4 tbsp
- Curd\Yogurt: 7-8 tbsp
- Green Chilies: 1-2 finely chopped
- Coriander Leaves for garnishing
- Sugar to taste
- Salt to taste
When I say Simplest – I mean it à Mix all ingredients above and Done Dana Done :P
Serve with Chapatti and Sabzi as a salad.
This goes to Madhuri’s ‘Summer Soothers II : Salads‘
Happy Cooking and Posting about it !!!
