Sprouted Moong Salad is a vibrant, nutritious dish made from sprouted moong beans combined with various fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices. This salad is known for its fresh, crunchy texture and many health benefits.
Blanch the Moong Sprouts: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the sprouted moong beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. This helps retain a slight crunch.
Alternatively, add a few tablespoons of water to the bowl of sprouted moong and microwave for 4 minutes.
Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and finely chop the cucumber, carrot, tomato, onion, green chilli and capsicum (bell pepper).
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched sprouts, chopped vegetables, green chilli, and coriander leaves. Add the roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, red chilli powder, amchur powder, and salt. Add in the lemon juice and mix everything well to ensure the spices coat the sprouts and vegetables evenly.
Garnish and Serve: Crush the roasted peanuts. Garnish the moong sprouts salad with roasted peanuts for an extra crunch. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and vibrant flavours.
