Chana dal (chickpea lentils) salad (ಕಡ್ಲೆ ಬೇಳೆ ಕೋಸಂಬರಿ)

This is my favourite weight loss food, which brims with protein, vitamins and anti-oxidants. But very very low in calories. Since it has plenty of protein and fibers, it fills stomach and stays for a very long time. I usually eat this tangy dish before starting my meal. This helps me to cut carb portion. Here is the recipe. Just try it.

Ingredients

Soaked Chana dal 1 cup - (wash 1/2 cup chana dal. Soak it for 3 hours. Wash it again and drain the water. )

Fresh grated coconut 1/4 cup

Finely chopped coriander  2 tea spoon

Lemon juice 1 tea spoon

Asafetida 1 pinch

Finely chopped green chilly 1 (optional) or grounded black pepper

Salt to taste.

Take a bowl and mix all the ingredients well. Eat a cup of this before breakfast, lunch and dinner. 

Add this to your ayurvedic weight loss diet.
