Fruit Kosambari with Pears
February Food Fun:
Include Fruits and greens regularly
Make a habit of Kosambari
Sweet pears in season are tossed with fresh lettuce from our backyard garden in this delicious kosambari. For an Indian twist, I have added some dates, chickpeas and chat masala powder. Fruits, greens and some protein, this free-spirited kosambari has all the food fun I wanted in a February. A guilt free meal and God bless simple recipes like Kosambari.

Your kosumbaris are always special and light Indira. We have been wanting to change our diet and I all I do is sigh whenever I come here. I even like the guava guacamole
