Kosambari, Moong dal (Yellow lentil ) cucumber salad

This is my 25th recipe, so I am sharing my favourite Kosambari, this is traditional Karnataka recipe. It is very healthy and tasty, you can have it as salad or you can have it as side salad with your meals. Kosambari is offered as prasadam to Lord Sri Rama on Sri Rama Navami 🙏 . I remember my childhood days, where we use togo temple on Rama Navami for lunch (oota in Kannada). I remember all the traditional food they offer like kosambari, Mandige, Hayagreeva,sweet mango chutney, sambar ....🤤😋😋. Those days never come back. Coming back to kosambari 😛 we  prepare kosambari in different ways. Today's my post is simple and easy using cucumber and coconut.

* I prefer using scraped coconut instead of grated coconut. As it gives milky taste to the salad.


* Use fresh coriander leaves for good taste.


* You can increase/decrease lemon juice as per your taste.


* You can skip the seasoning.


* You can also use carrot, capsicum along with cucumber. I will post that recipe soon 🤗.


Tips


◆ If you are in hurry and no time to soak moong dal for 1 hour,then soak moong dal in hot water for 30 minutes. Or boil it in cooker, but it taste bit different.
