Bengal gram and Cucumber Kosambari is an easy to make dish. Soak the Bengal gram for about 2 hours. This will make it easy to chew and blend. Always select tender Cucumber since it contains lot of water in it. If you do the chopping and seasoning then it is all done. Remember to add salt just before serving in all Cucumber salads as it leaves water once it blends with salt.
