Green Moong Kosambari

green moong sprouts Kosambari

I was talking to my friend Ganga on phone inquiring about kannada recipes, thought she can help me in this as she is from Anantapur (border to Karnataka). Ganga makes lovely Jonna Rottis(jowar rotis). I tried to learn from her but can never make such soft, thin and very big sized jonna rottis. She then told me about this famous and easy recipe of Kosambari (Kannadiga Salad) which mainly has soaked green moong beans as the main ingredient with coconut, cucumber, tomatoes etc. Thanks Ganga for sharing this wonderful salad, JB loved it so much!

2 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
1 carrot, grated (I didn't have handy)
salt as per taste

  1. Soak the green moong beans for at least 2 hrs, here I used moong sprouts instead of the soaked ones.
  2. Mix all the veggies with moong beans, add lemon juice and salt as per your taste and a quick and healthy Kosambari is ready.
  3. A quick note, my friend also told that this can be offered as naivedyam to God, if you minus onions in it.

Lovely looking thali...everything looks wonderful in that plate...that rotti I am not even able to pronoun properly but you have prepared...jb is mightily lucky in you cooking such delicious meals

Adity said...

Thanks Padma for stopping by on my blog home. It's always a pleasure to hear from you :).

The Roti on your blog looks quite authentic and I have read it for the first time that we can make Roti's out of Rice flour. Excuse my ignorance!

But to be honest, I found the recipe quite interesting! Is it soft enough just like Wheat roti or is it crispy like Tandoori rotis that we can eat in restaurants?

I'll appreciate your response. Thanks and have a wonderful day.

Mishmash ! said...

Isn't this the same as rice roti, i mean the akki roti...? Keralites have a very thin and fluffy version of rice rotis called 'pathiri', which are very soft ones..

Shn
