GAJJARA KOSAMBARI (CARROT SALAD)
There are countless variations of this style of salad from Karnataka, but my favorite is a simple version made with crunchy raw carrots, dressed with a little tempered fat, coconut, citrus and chopped herbs. If fresh coconut isn't available, keep a bag of frozen grated coconut in the freezer. It's easy to find at most Indian grocery stores and, when you have it on hand, you can bring this salad together in less than five minutes.
