Instructions
- Prep the Veggies: Start by finely chopping the onion, cucumber, tomato, and fresh coriander. Slit the green chilli vertically and cut it into very thin, small pieces so it mixes well.
- Grate the Mango: Peel the skin off a raw mango (kairi) and grate about one teaspoon of it. This gives the Maharashtrian Koshimbir Recipe its signature tangy kick.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add your chopped onion, cucumber, tomato, green chilli, grated raw mango, and fresh coriander.
- Add Flavour Boosters: Add the freshly grated coconut to the bowl. Sprinkle in a pinch of chaat masala, salt (or black salt), and a little powdered sugar to balance the tanginess.
- Mix Well: Gently toss everything together until the ingredients and seasonings are completely combined.
- Add Crunch (Optional): If you prefer extra texture, mix in a little roasted peanut powder just before serving.
