Beetroot kosambari recipe | Beetroot salad (Indian style)

By swasthi , on January 22, 2021, 14 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Beetroot kosambari – kosambari is a salad that is a part of the meal in Karnataka and Maharashtra. It is prepared with soaked moong dal, coconut, coriander leaves and raw veggies like carrot, radish and or cucumber. It is also tempered with mustard, cumin and hing. It is also made during Sri Ram Navami for naivedhyam but without the use of beets.

This Indian style beetroot salad will be liked by most since soaked lentils and fresh coconut add great taste. Raw food lovers will surely like this. I have not tempered it, you can temper using 1 tsp oil or ghee, curry leaves, mustard and cumin.

While eating beetroot regularly can be good for people with anemia. This is one of the healthiest ways to consume beets, since they are consumed raw.

Kosambari helps to digest a meal better, hence it is served along with a meal. You can serve this as a side to roti or even with curd rice. During summers it is one of the best refreshing beetroot salad.

To make kosambari fine grating taste good, but I grated in a food processor hence have large grating.
