Green Salad. (कांद्याच्या पातीची कोशिंबीर )



After a long absence I am back again. 
Today I am making green salad with a twist.

Spring Onion Salad



For this you will need:
1 bunch spring onions with greens intact
1 green chilly
1/4 cup grated fresh coconut
1 tblsp sesame seeds
1 tblsp flax seeds
1 tblsp lemon juice or to taste
salt to taste

Finely cut greens of the spring onions

                                  Grated fresh coconut

                            Sesame seeds

                               Flax seeds

Method :

Wash, dry and finely cut the greens of spring onions. (Keep the onions for some other use) Cut finely the green chilly. Dry roast the sesame seeds and flax seeds separately till crisp and the colour changes slightly. Keep aside to cool.
Now mix the spring onion, chilly, coconut, lemon juice and salt lightly but thoroughly. Just before serving add the roasted cooled seeds and give it a quick mix. Serve this delicious and healthy salad. It will become a favourite in your family as it has become with my family. 
The crunch of the sesame seeds and flax seeds is very makes this salad different so add it just before serving.

Pineapple Salsa Indian Style

Here is a quick recipe using fresh pineapple.
Ingredients:
1 cup pineapple pieces
1/2 cup fresh coconut grated
2-3 red chillies dried will do too
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
2 cloves of garlic ( optional )
Salt to taste
Method:
Grind the mustard, grated coconut and red chilies and garlic (if using) to a very fine paste. Add this to the pineapple pieces. Add salt and mix well. Chill for 3 to 4 hours before serving. Tastes delicious with the sweet/sour taste of pineapple, bite of red chilly and tang of mustard.
