Bengal gram (Chana Dal/Senagabedalu) 1/2 cup
Cucumber 1
Grated raw mango 2 tsps
Green Chillies 2
Chopped coriander 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Fresh and grated coconut for garnish

Method:

Wash and soak the Bengal gram and green gram separately for around 15 mins.

Finely chop the cucumber, coriander and green chillies. Grate a little bit of raw mango.

Drain and add to a bowl the soaked bengal gram, green gram, cucumber, coriander, green chillies, grated mango and mix well.
