  • Moong dal salad | koshambir recipe

    Moong dal salad | koshambir recipe

    Moong dal salad is a healthy salad to serve in any meal. It is usually made during festivals and ceremonies in South India. It is commonly known as hesaru bele kosambri. 

    Salads form an important part of our diet. Here I have used moong dal to make it. This version is called as moong dal salad or koshambir and is made during festivals and functions. It is served to ladies during haldi kumkum. One can make it as an accompaniment with rice or chapati.

    In South India, it is customary to have a salad, chutney, gojju and palya (stir fry ) along with dal and rasam during festivals and ceremonies. Sweets and savoury snacks as ambode are the main attraction. Salads are usually made of either moong dal or bengal gram. Here is the moong dal salad recipe for you which we frequently make at home. 

    INGREDIENTS:

    • 1 cup moong dal
    • 1 teaspoon bengal gram
    • 1 big cucumber
    • 2 teaspoon oil for seasoning
    • 1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
    • a pinch of asafoetida
    • a few curry leaves
    • 2 green chilly
    • 1 cup fresh coconut
    • salt to taste
    • 1/2 lemon

    • Remove the skin of big cucumber and cut it into small pieces.
    • Drain the water from the dal and put it in a colander for ten minutes.
    • Later, put in a bowl and add cucumber, salt  and grated coconut to it.
    • Make seasoning and add to it.
    • Add a dash of lime juice to it.
    • Serve as an accompaniment or binge as a snack.

    Tips :

    Cucumber used is the long variety. Remove the edges and rub well in circular motion. Then peel the skin. Use the seeds if they are tender. Otherwise, discard them.
