We had some friends for dinner over the weekend. I wanted to make some simple dishes. I thought of a simple chicken dish and made this one with loads of garlic in it. I used roasted spices, unlike any chicken dishes I have tried so far. It came out so good. I will be making this often now.

Raw uncooked vegetables in the form of kosambaris are liked by many people. We make many different kinds of kosambaris – cabbage , carrot, moong dal to name a few. One more addition to this is cucumber kosambari. I saw this in one of the magazines and tried at home. I make this regularly now as my husband and I both liked it. This can be made with or without yogurt.
