Hope things are fine at ur end....Here slowly things are getting settled down. Time is running super fast its already been a week since we came here. We are enjoying the weather, settling at new home, knowing new people and the surroundings etc. My favourite times are the ones when we walk in and around the apartment, watching the work progress for each home........Though blaming on mittu for the outside walk, I am just loving those times...:)
I havent tried sprouting though have seen amma doing it several times. After hearing so many goodness about sprouts I also tried to sprout green gram recently. It is so filling for breakfast or can be packed as a snack too. I tried a simple stir fry with it more like sundal as I didnt want to add more masalas/spices instead preferred the mild seasoning.
Method : How to sprout green gram
1.Soak 1 cup green gram in water (just little above immersing level) overnight or at least 7-8 hours.After 7 or 8 hours , drain all the water. Then just wipe of with a dry cloth to absorb all the moisture.
2.Now wrap the green gram in a muslin cloth. Leave it undisturbed for 6 hours. After 6-7 hours , when you open you can see the sprouts grown as in the picture below.If not leave it for 1 more hour.
If you leave it for more hours after soaking, the sprouts will grow longer which will be harder to chew but its your preference.
