Mom makes it every year and it tastes divinely. It's perfect drink for summer too. Even if you don’t have the formality to celebrate this festival, do make Panakam and neer mor, to keep yourself cool this summer season.

Since Ram Navami always falls in summer season, our ancestors have celebrated such way it also is inter related to the food we consume. This carrot kosambari is also such a refreshing recipe with citrus flavor and added proteins in it.

🥕 Kosambari

When I went to Chennai in Jan, my MIL made this, but sans paasi paruppu. My co-sis is a great fan of this. My mom makes only carrot thayir pachadi, at least as far as I remember. But this way as a salad, I had for the first time and liked it too.

Carrot is least favorite for me, mom and dad used to grate carrot, mix with sugar and ask us to eat and I used to cry while eating that. But when I made this salad today, I liked it, I ate the whole thing I made while I was cooking.
