This is simple and healthy kosambari for kids. Traditional kosambari is a salad with moong dal, carrot, coconut & cucumber with seasoning. But my preparation is mainly for kids. My son doesnt like raw moong dal. So i sauted all these ingredients for just 2 min. Then for twist and flavour i added raw mango cubes and roasted peanut for crunchiness.

You can add pomegranate & sev for flavour
