Moong Daal Sprouts

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 cup moong daal whole
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp haldi turmeric
  • 1/2 inch ginger grated
  • 3 tbsp water

Instructions

  • Clean and wash daal.
  • Soak daal in water for 8-12 hours or overnight.
  • After the soaking period, throw the water away, rinse the daal again, and put it in a cotton or muslin cloth and tie it.
  • The daal should sprout in 24-36 hours.
  • Put the sprouts, water, salt, turmeric, and ginger into a pressure cooker. You can alternatively blanch it in hot water with salt and turmeric.
  • If using pressure cooker, turn on the heat to medium-high and cook until one whistle sounds. Allow steam to escape naturally. See note above in Tips & Tricks if you don't have a pressure cooker.
  • Open the cooker and eat sprouts with your choice of toppings. I like onion, cucumber, tomato, boiled potatoes, cilantro, chaat masala and lemon on mine!
