Know about the Recipe : 
Kosambari is a typical Karnataka Style food and is a Udupi special dish. It is also called as Vada Pappu in Andhra. It is a healthy south Indian Salad made of soaked Moong dal seasoned with cucumber, fresh coconut and coriander leaves. In my home, we prepare this Kosambari as a upvaas special at the time of Shivaratri festival. We usually do fasting on this auspicious day.
