Recipe- This Weekend Treat Your Family With Moong Dal Carrot Salad

This is a typical south indian salad served in every function of ours. I love to prepare salad as it is very simple, healthy and tasty dish. We south indians, eat this salad as it is or with hot steamed rice. However, i recommend you to try this for having in morning breakfast or a evening snacks. Furthermore, this salad is so attractive, that you can pack to your kids lunch box as well.

Kosambari is easy and quick to make. Firstly the moong dal is soaked in water and later mixed with grated cucumber, fresh coconut, raw mango, coriander leaves, pomegranate seeds, sprouts or any healthy veggies of your choice. Furthermore, make sure to soak the moong dal atleast 10 minutes as it helps to easily digest. moreover, the tanginess is got by lemon juice. So always add salt and lemon juice just before serving. Else the salad will turn watery.
