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 -:)
