Kosambari - the Indian version of salad is made of fresh raw vegetables and with or without Lentils. It’s seasoned with mustard, coconut and fresh lime juice. Kosambari's are a quick, easy, no-cooking and no-nonsense salad which is a must in a kannadiga family, especially during the festive/wedding season or when there are guests at home.
I eat them by bowlfuls as it’s considered very healthy. It’s great during summer. Below, I am giving you two varieties of Kosambari. You can mix and match the vegetables to suit your taste.
