A healthy,zero fat and high protein salad which combines the health benefits of vegetables with the goodness of sprouted Green moong/mung beans. Green Moong/mung beans is a power house of nutrition and when sprouted its nutritional benefits double. You can read about the benefits of sprouted lentils in this article from Livestrong.com as well as a comparison between sprouted and dried lentils here.

I had earlier shared how to sprout Green Moong/mung beans without a sprout maker or going through the old fashioned way of sprouting by tying the beans in a wet muslin cloth. This easy and hygienic method makes it easy to include sprouted moong/mung beans in our diet.

If you are looking for something sweet and spicy, top it off with green chatni, tamarind chatni and some crunchy sev for a truly delicious street food experience, except this one is actually healthy and good for you! Also try out my Ramen Noodle Asian Salad and Couscous salad.

If you absolutely don’t like raw sprouts, then cook it lightly, like I do occasionally, with some Indian spices. Here I heated some oil, put cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric, red chili powder and salt with very little water and cooked it just enough to keep it firm but not mushy. I personally like my sprouts like this, topped with vegetables and chatnis!
