Raddish Salad
Salad is called Koshimbir in Marathi and Kachumbar in Hindi. The word denotes that the vegetables are cut in small pieces. In Marathi culture most of the food items are served in small portions in a big round plate (Thali) in the beginning at the time of lunch or dinner. Here Koshimbir is placed at the left side in the Thali. Different types of Salads are made. Now we will read how Raddish Salad is made.
