Akshay Tritiya Special --- Koshimbeer, Panha
Panha that is raw mango juice, Daalichi koshimbeer which can be called a salad, is made of soaked split bengal gram lentil and raw mango again.
In summer when raw mango is available in plenty, this is an offering given to God in many Hindu homes. Specially on the festival of Akshay Tritiya this holds a special place in all our kitchens. Ladies are invited for a small get together called Haldi Kunku. They are given a snack together with the above mentioned dishes. An auspicious day spent together.
In my earlier blog I have given the recipe of the raw mango juice and today I will share the recipe of the Koshimbeer.
Ingredients
2 cups chana dal or split bengal gram lentil, soaked for 3-4 hours and ground coarsely.
1/2 raw mango grated
1/2 cup freshly grated coconut
3 dry red chillies
Finely chopped coriander for garnishing
For the Koshimbeer we use chana dal which is soaked for 3-4 hours and then water is drained off, It is ground coarsely in mixi. In this salt to taste, scraped fresh coconut, grated raw mango are added and mixed well.
