Healthy sprouts curry

Sprouts are always a rich food, rich in proteins i mean. Even though people are aware of the health benefits of sprouts they tend to ignore and often dont eat them. But cmon man's tongues demands tatse and who would not like to eat sprouts if made this way.


Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Serves: 5


Ingredients:

1. Sprouted seeds [ i took green gram (hesaru kalu), black chana (kadale kalu), green peas] and soaked them overnight and let them sprout.
2. Onions 3-4
3. Tomatoes 2-3
4. Green chillies 5
5. Water
6. Salt
7. Coriander leaves
8. Curry leaves
9. Garam masala
10 Mustard seeds
11. Turmeric 1 tsp
12. Oil


Method:

1. Sprout the seeds and keep them aside.





2. Cut the onions and tomatoes as well.
3. Heat oil in a cooker and make seasoning of mustard seeds, green chillies and curry leaves.
4. Now add the onions and saute them. Add garam masala  and turmeric as well.
5. Once they turn golden brown add the tomatoes and saute for about a minute.
6. Now add the sprouted seeds and saute.
