Tomato Onion Koshimbir (A Maharashtrian salad)

This salad or kachumber or koshimbir reminds me of the summers spent at Ajji’s (Naani’s) house. This preparation is a representative of a typical Maharashtrian koshimbir that usually has finely chopped veggies, the quintessential peanut powder and a tadka for tempering. You can try new salads with grated cucumber or kheera or grated carrot instead of tomatoes and onions, on similar lines.

Besan ke pude/pudla/dosa

Besan pudas or teekha pudla as we call it in Gujarati, is a quick and simple snack. We sometimes also make it for breakfast or in the evening when we are going for a light dinner. On days when you come home from a trip and the vegetable basket is empty or when you are too tired to cook anything elaborate, pudas are a convenient option.
