Yummy Mango n Kosambari Salad
Kosambari Salad
INGREDIENTS:
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 !!!

Rice - 2 cups
Lentils - 1 cup
Urad dal - 1 cup
