SPROUTS

Hi Everyone,

One of my viewer friend asked me to post some diet recipes , right now I don’t have much diet recipes in my draft so Iam posting little ,Will post all the diet recipes soon.

Many people doesn’t know the real facts about sprouts ! Dals are healthy to eat but when they are soaked in water and sprouted their taste and vitamins also enhances.

You will get complete benefit of eating dals only by sprouting.We can sprout most of the whole dals such as Moong dal , kidney beans , Horse gram dal , chikpea , One eyed peas etc etc.Only the sprouting time will differ for each dal.



Also below I have given photos and details of few sprouts that I make it in home ..you can refer those also.

The dishes you can make with green moong dal sprouts are,
1) Pesarut.
2) Moong dal fritters / Moong dal vada.

Lets see how to make sprouts.

PREPARATION :

1)Soak dal in water and leave it overnight ( or about 7 hours ) .
soaked moong dal for 7 hours
2) After 7 hours of soaking drain the water completely with strainer and empty the dal in a cotton cloth , tie it tight and hang it in a place where it gets complete air circulation.

 3) Leave it undisturbed for a day (24 hours) , after one day you can even notice the sprouts piercing out of the cloth!!.

   4)  Now open the cloth and see everything    has been sprouted beautifully.
        


5) You can eat as it is by sprinkling some pepper and salt or with salads also.

6) While making dishes out if this sprouts you no need to soak it again as they are already soaked and turned soft.

7) Sprouted dals consumes less time for boiling so don’t boil like normal dals, half of the time is enough for boiling.

8) For other dals , after hanging periodically sprinkle water over the tied cloth as to prevent from drying , as moong dal is very soft you no need to sprinkle any water in between.

OTHER SPROUTED DALS ARE BELOW :
CHANNA :
9) Channa took 24 hours for sprouting and also it requires sprinkling of water for every 5 to 6 hours to avoid getting dry.
 


KAMBU / BAJRA / DARK MILLET : 

1) Bajra takes about 48 hours ( 2 days ) to sprout completely and also sprinkling of water for every 8 hours also required.other than that the soaking and sprouting process are same as above.
2) Sun dry the sprouts for one or two days until they turn crisp and then grind it to fine powder.Store them in airtight container.
The dish you can make through Bajra is,
  1) Kambu dosa.

KADAMBA / KANAVA MASALA /SQUID FISH CURRY

Hi, Sea has lot of creatures in it that we can cook and we were much more unaware of many . Squid fish is one among the yummy species which I was totally unaware even after coming to Chennai.One day in market I saw them and surprised that they are selling octopus ( it looked like that to me :)). Then I surfed in net and found actually they are squid ( kadamba / kanava) and not octopus , My friend Saranya cooked this gravy for us during her visit to our home .I copied the recipe from her and tried next week itself.Though the squid fish looks very weird the taste was so yummy and there is no fish odor in that.It just tasted like mutton.

Other than that the fish tastes heaven , spicy, yummy and very easy to cook. I have
