CARROT CUCUMBER KOSUMALLI
Kosumalli or Kosambari is a south indian salad made with soaked mung dal and vegetables like cucumber,carrot etc.Usually this is made during Rama Navami,marriages and some festivals.I make this once a week since all at home are fond of salads and is a favorite to Ravi.It was during last week’s weekend menu I hade made this and as promised writing this post now.As cucumbers and carrots are available all round the year and are easily available this is a simple recipe which can be mae in a jiffy and you can be rest assured that it is nutritious too.

You can also try the same with veggies like beetroot and radish for a change.In some parts they make a sweet salad with soaked channa dal and sugar with grated carrots.I will blog about it later.This recipe doesn’t involve any cooking except for tempering.In a matter of 5 minutes recipe will be done,minus the soaking time.Cucumber has cooling properties and carrots have Vitamin A loaded in them.You can easily give kids this salad and make them eat.If you are trying this as a salad,try adding onions too.It tastes really good.With simple ingredients available at home,you can create a feast.Try this recipe and let me know..
