Moong Dal Cucumber Salad-Pasi Paruppu Kosumalli Recipe

June 7, 2013 by PadhuSankar 4 Comments

Kosumalli  also known as Kosumbari is a traditional South Indian salad prepared with fresh vegetables and mostly soaked moong dal. There are many combinations and this is one of them. I love salads and can have it any time without any accompaniment. Today let us learn a very simple and healthy Indian salad following our easy recipe.
