I am back after a long hiatus. I am dedicating this post to my beloved Father in Law Shri K Sankaranarayana whom we lost on 10th August this year. He was a pillar of strength and to the family.He was always soft spoken and motivated us in every possible way. He always believed in giving back to the society. He has done a lot of charity work to help the under privileged. He was a health freek and always vouched for healthy eating. I am sure he is in a better place now watching us.One of his favorite dish was SALAD.
Today is 55th #Foodiemonday #Bloghop and my contribution for today’s theme #Salad is 3 C Kosambari. Kosambari is an integral part of the festive menu in Karnataka.
