Nutritious, delicious, Karnataka style festival special dish - hesarubele kosambri
Ingredients
  • 4 Tbsp or ¼ Cup mung dal/hesarubele
  • 1 Tsp oil
  • ½ Tsp mustard
  • A pinch of hing
  • ¼ Cup freshly grated coconut
  • Juice from ½ a lemon/lime
  • Chopped coriander to garnish
  • 1 broken dry red chilli
  • Few curry leaves
  • Salt to taste
Method
  1. Add mung dal/hesarubele in a bowl, rinse twice with water and let it soak for 2-3 hours
  2. Drain water from the soaked mung dal
  3. Make tadka with oil, mustard, hing, broken red chilli, curry leaves and pour this over the well drained mung dal/hesarubele
  4. Next add grated coconut, chopped coriander, salt to taste and mix well
  5. Finish with lemon/lime juice
  6. Garnish with coriander and serve
Notes
Add finely chopped cucumber or grated carrot

It is best if everything is mixed just before serving

If there is leftover kosambri it is probably best to refrigerate it, uncooked mung dal and coconut will spoil at hot and humid room temperatures
