Recipe 

Mung sprouts – 1 heaped cup 

Curry leaves – 10 – 12

Cumin seeds – 1/2 teaspoon

Mustard seeds or rai – 1/4 teaspoon

Dry red chilli – 1

Asafoetida or hing – a small pinch 

Green chilli – 1 chopped

Ginger – 1/2 inch piece, grated

Salt to taste

Cumin powder – 1/2 teaspoon

Red chilli powder – 1/2 teaspoon, optional 

Turmeric powder – 1/4 teaspoon

Oil – 1 tablespoon

Fresh coconut – 1/3 cup, grated 

Lemon juice – 1 teaspoon

Pomegranate seeds and grated coconut to garnish 

Method 

Wash and soak the green mung beans overnight.

Next day drain the water completely. Beans should be moist.

Cover the bowl and keep aside for one day. Next day you will get sprouted beans. If you want longer sprouts keep it for one more day.

Wash the sprouts well. You can boil or steam the sprouts. I like the crunch so I didn’t.

Heat oil in a nonstick pan. Add mustard seeds or rai. Then add cumin seeds. Let them splutter.

Add grated ginger and green chilli. Saute for one minute.

Add curry leaves, dry red chilli and asafoetida or hing. And then add the sprouts.

Add salt, cumin powder, turmeric powder and red chilli powder. Mix well.

Saute for 5 – 6 minutes on low medium heat.

Remove from heat. Add grated coconut and lemon juice. Mix well.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy bowlful as a snack. I like it bowlful with little more lemon juice.

Notes –

1. If you want to use onion add sliced one onion with curry leaves.

2. You can also add minced or grated garlic with onion. Fry till onion becomes translucent and then add the sprouts.
