From being a person who would run the other direction if I see sprouts or anything to do with it, I have actually begun to love it! I still do not like them raw. No, I can never get myself to really like that form of it. But, I try variations to ensure my interest level is kept alive in these little power packed beans/grains. This was the first time I am trying my hands at sprouting horse gram. I used my usual simple method of sprouting moong beans... and this time too it worked like a charm! It always amuses me to watch them sprout :)
Adding in a little onions and a handful of grated coconut to these simple sprouts makes them so yummy to munch on. I had them as a sides with my curd rice once and as a snack to munch on along with my evening coffee another time. Both the times, they tasted real good and you get this sort of feeling of goodness that you are treating yourself to some good health while you snack away to glory! :D

ReplyDeleteHi Nandita, the sprouts salad looks very tempting. With onions, cumin, coconut, it must be flavourful too. Loved your duck shaped spoon.

ReplyDeleteI make sprout salad with onion and tomato but will try it with coconut. You know I have bookmarked your coconut buns recipe and bought dry yeast but haven't tried it. Yesterday I surfed your Fb page and landed again on that recipe. I have to make it now :)
