Kanda Tomato Koshimbir
Kanda tomato koshimbir is a simple and tasty salad. Onion and tomato salad prepared in Maharashtrian style. Roasted peanut powder and a tempering of mustard seeds and cumin seeds gives it a special taste. This is the salad, which I love the most and enjoy with chapatis even in the absence of curries.
