Sprouted Moong Salad

Ingredients
Sprouted Moong - 2 cups
Tomatoes - 2 chopped
Carrot - 1/2 cup grated
Onion - 1 chopped
Green chilli - 1 chopped
lemon juice - 2 t.sp
Cucumber - 1 small (washed & chopped)
coriander for garnishing
salt to taste

Method
For moong sprouts
Wash the moong and soak in water for about 6 to 8 hrs. Drain the water and put the soaked moong in a bowl or in a colander. Keep it covered. Leave it for about a day.

Once the moongs are sprouted, you can also use them raw for the salad. It is more healthier. But then we like it a little soft, so I steam the sprouts for some time. My mother used to use the raw sprouts as such.


Heat 1 t.sp oil in a pan, add onion. Once the onions are translucent add the green chilies, carrots and tomatoes. And cook for about a minute. Remove the pan from fire add salt, lemon juice, cucumber and the sprouted moong. Serve cold or warm.
