Yummy Mango n Kosambari Salad

Kosambari Salad






Like many of you i am great salad fan - salad any time ...  as breakfast, with lunch or dinner ... especiallay this one it is very healthy and yummy tasting ... 


I learnt this vegetarian recipe from my kannada friend - again high in protein and very easy to prepare with raw vegetables and lentils - no cooking  :-) :-)  


The yummiest part of the salad is adding mangoes to the sprouted beans ... especially In summer you get fine mangoes - not the raw ones, they need to be little ripened one which really adds so much taste to this salad. Yummy and healthy !!!

INGREDIENTS:

  • Moong dal  - 1 cup - soak over night
  • Ripened Mango - 1/2 ( peeled one)  
  • Salad Cucumber - 1/2 
  • Onion - 1/2
  • Pepper - Yellow, Red and orange ( love the peppers any time  ) 
  • Green chillies (optional) 
  • Coconut grated (optional) 
  • Corriander leaves 
  • Oil - 1/2 table spoon
  • Carrot - 1/2 cup fine grated ( optional) 
  • Seasoning - mustard seeds, red chilli, cury leaves and salt 
PREPARATION:time 10 minutes or less 
  • Soak moong dal over night ... wash Moong dal well the next day morning and remove the water ... 
  • Moong bean sprouts are the best ( you also get sprouted mung beans in stores if yo do not want to go through the soak moong bean process)
  • Finely chop cucumber, onions and peppers ( great colors ) into 1/4 cm size
  • Mangoes - they need to little long and thin
  • Carrot - it needs to fine grated 
  • Season the onions and chillies 
  • Add the vegetables, lentils to the seasoned stuff and mix well
