Sprouted Moong salad

Fri 10 April 2009 by Ajay Shekhawat

After 4 days of sprouting the moong, they were finally ready. And I was ready to chow down too.

The thing about sprouted legumes (like moong) is that they need some help to digest properly. Help in the form of acidity: lemon juice. So I made a delicious sprouted moong salad with some veggies I had lying around. Total time to prepare: about 5 minutes.

You will need:

  • Sprouted moong (see previous entry)
  • Same amount of veggies: I chopped up a carrot, a green onion (till the leaves) and diced a tomato.
  • A lemon (or two)
  • Black pepper (I like lots, and I do mean lots, of black pepper)
  • Other spices to taste. If you want to make it hot, sprinkle some cayenne pepper! Yummy.
Wash the moong beans thoroughly. Mix the veggies and the sprouts. Add the black pepper. Squeeze the lemon juice. And shake, rattle and roll.

Final product.

For dinner, I made what my cookbook calls, "Bolly Cauli" : curried cauliflower and potatoes.  I'll post the recipe for that later.
