Black Gram Sprouts: Protein Power House
Ingredients
- 1 cup black gram
- 1 table spoon olive oil
- I tea spoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 tea spoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 tea spoon black pepper
- 2 spring onions, diced
- 1 tomato, diced
- Salt, as per taste
For sprouting, soak the one cup black gram in sufficient water overnight. Next morning, drain and loosely tie them (so that there is space to sprout) in a muslin cloth and hang in an airy space. Keep sprinkling water on the cloth just when you see it has dried out completely. Usually by the third day, the sprouts would have appeared. When the desired sprouting has taken place, you are ready to enjoy it. Heat olive oil in a pan and add cumin seeds and the spring onion. When the onion is tender, add turmeric, salt, tomato, black pepper and the sprouts and mix thoroughly. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes. Use it as a side dish or salad for lunch or dinner. Black gram sprouts can provide healthy energy alternatives.
