Moong bean sprouts

Method

  • Soak moong beans in water for 6-8 hours or overnight
  • Drain water and place the seeds in wet cheese cloth and tie it around 
  • Keep the cheese cloth with beans and little water in a closed box and keep it in a warm place for 10 hours
  • Voila !! you will see looong sprouts 
  • Rinse the sprouts carefully and its ready to eat as a salad with some lime juice or prepare soup [daal], fried rice, dosa [crepe](use sprout beans instead of split moong beans) etc etc

And I just found that there are actually bean sprouters in the market, check them out, BTW you would not need it if you follow the method above -:)

    Rice Kheer in Rice Cooker

    Till now, I have been using rice cooker for just cooking rice. Recently I learnt that one cook toor daal (lentil soup), daal makhani and rice kheer. Since, dessert is my weakness, I thought I should start with rice kheer. Ingredients Rice - 1/2 cup Whole milk - 1.5 cups + more Raisins - 1/4 cup Sugar - 1/2 cup Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp Ghee (clarified butter oil) - 1/2 tsp Method Rinse rice with water. Drain excess water and put rice in the slow cooker.  Pour all the milk and turn on the rice cooker and cover the lid.  It is important to stir kheer from to time to time. Add sugar. You may need to add more milk as the milk concentrates before the rice is cooked.  Once the rice cooked in milk turn off the switch. Heat ghee in a laddle. When hot add the raisins and cook on low heat till raising loook golden and pour the mixture in the kheer. Sprinkle the cardamom powder and serve cold or warm
