Mixed Sprouts Salad

 

                                                      Sprouts Salad

Ingredients:

1/2 cup moong dal
1/2 cup chana dal (bangal gram) 

1/2 cup moth dal (mat/dew bean) 
1/2 cup masoor dal (lentils)
1/4 broccoli seeds 

Salt to taste 

Lemon juice 

Black pepper powder

Preparation:

How to make sprouts at home:
Soak all dals overnight and drain water. Transfer soaked dals onto a wet muslin cloth (or any cotton cloth). I use separate cloth for all dals. Tie the ends of the cloth and keep them in warm dark place (oven is a better place and can be kept undisturbed).

OR sprouts can also be grown in glass or a plastic container. Place a piece of cotton/muslin cloth to cover the top of the container. Secure it with elastic band.

Note: Make sure you keep the sprouts moist by sprinkling little water over them.

You should be able to get good sprouts within 2-3 days depending on the type of seed and the length of the sprouts.

Salad Preparation:

Mix sprouts in a bowl.
Add salt to taste and keep them in the microwave for one minute (for each one) to get rid of the raw flavor of the sprouts.
Add lemon juice, salt to taste and pepper powder.
Mix and serve.

You can save these sprouts for long time inside the refrigerator (without adding any cut vegetables and the spices). These sprouts can be tossed into regular salad of your choice.

I love this heart healthy salad!
