Back to back from Nits kitchen, as i promised! Here is a super quick recipe for a South Indian delicacy more often served at weddings as an accompaniment or as Nits’ puts it ‘a healthy starter salad to a huge meal’, also cooked by certain delicacy experts at home! I should agree i have no clue on making such specialties, thanks to Nits, not only am i publishing this on my blog, but am planning to try my hands at it soon too as she has made it as simple as possible! So here’s Kosambari aka Kosmari made into a easy recipe coming your way from none other than Nits’ kitchen…
