Kosambari/kosmali

Kosambari is like a salad,usually made with carrots or cucumbers.I like to call this as ‘Indian Salad’.This is a special item prepared in marriages & on Srirama navami day in our house.

Here is how I made..

Ingredients

Split moong dal 1/4 (cup soaked in water for 1/2 hour)
Carrot 1 peeled and grated
Grated coconut 2 tsp
Cliantro few chopped
Lemon/lime juice 1tsp.
Salt to taste.

For seasoning
Oil, mustard, urad dal and red or green chillies 1.

Soak split yellow/moongdal for about half hour. Then drain the water and mix veggies.Mix together soaked dal, grated carrot , coconut, cilantro leaves, lime juice.Add salt to taste.Heat oil, when its hot add mustard seeds,urad dal and chilis to it. When urad dal starts to change colour turn off heat and this seasoning to veggies. Mix well.
