Kosamalli / Kosambri

         Kosamalli or Kosambri salad is a food item which never fails to find a place in the wedding feasts. It is usually prepared on the auspicious day of Rama Navami along with panagam and neer moor. I prepared this last week for Rama Navami but didn’t find time to post this till date. With the thought “Better late than never” I am posting the recipe of Kosambri today. Don’t have to wait till next Rama Navami to make this :-P. You can make this salad in no time whenever you feel like having a healthy salad.

 Ingredients:

Grated Carrot	¼ cup
Moong Dal/ Paasi paruppu	¼ cup
Grated Coconut	4 tbsp
Salt	To taste
Green chillies	2
Coriander leaves	Few strands
Lemon	1/2
Mustard Seeds	To temper

Method:

1) Soak the moong dal for 30-45 min. Drain the water in a colander and keep it aside.

2) Add the grated carrot, grated coconut, chopped green chilies, salt needed to this and give a good stir.

3)Tempering it with mustard seeds, squeezing a dash of lime and a lavish sprinkle of coriander leaves completes this Kosambri/Kosamalli salad.
