Kosumalli is a protein-rich South Indian salad. We add yellow moong dal, grated carrots, and cucumber to this salad. We are not cooking the moong dal in this recipe. It is soaked in hot water for 15 minutes and then mixed with cucumber and carrots.

Sweet kosumalli and this savory kosumalli is served in Tamil brahmin weddings. Sweet kosumalli is made using chana dal and kalkandu | sugar candy. In our family, we make kosumalli for most of the festivals like Deepavali, Varalakshmi nombu.
