    Sprouted Moong Beans Chaat

    For the last recipe of the week, I had many ideas but chaat was not one of them. Had I had sprouted moong bean chaat on mind, I would have replaced sprouts stir fry with another recipe. The plan was to cook either a moong dal tikki, bottle gourd dal, dal soup, moong dal wadi curry or crushed moong dal fry.

    Homemade Sprouts, Moong Beans Sprouts, Pesarlu,

    Day before yesterday as I was putting the leftovers in the fridge after dinner, I realized I had enough curries to last me at least another couple of days and as we were not going to eat those curries anyway on Friday & Saturday, I had enough to last me until early next week. Then I saw the sprouts. With all the cooking I am doing for cooking carnival, cooking with protein rich ingredients, it didn’t look like I was going to touch the sprouts anytime soon. That is when I thought why not use up the sprouts I have, instead of cooking with moong dal. Thus came the idea of chaat.

    I made a simple curry with sprouts or usal with moong sprouts. In Maharashtrian cuisine, curry cooked with sprouts. I assembled the chaat with ingredients I had on hand. I topped usal with yogurt, onions, tomatoes, chaat masala, chili powder, salt, cumin powder and lime juice. I wish I had some sev, but had to go without it.

    This was my yesterday's breakfast. It was a filling breakfast and would not mind this for light lunch or dinner either. I often make similar chaat with chickpeas and once in awhile with peas but never made with sprouts. Now I have another way to use up sprouts whenever I make sprouts at home.

    Sprouted moong chaat is a wholesome and a filling meal. This is a low carb, healthy meal for people wanting to cut back on carbs. When I make such chaats for lunch or dinner, I throw in some diced cucumber and grated carrots as well. Since I made this for breakfast, I was not in a mood to eat vegetables in the morning. Just like most of the moong recipes, I at this chaat all by myself and enjoyed it to core. Of the 6 recipes I have posted, Mr U tasted only the laddu and khichdi.

    Except the Ram Laddu, all the recipes for this week were cooked in this month after the marathon started. Though I enjoyed all the recipes, I am so glad I am done with my moong recipes for this month. I don't think I am going to cook with moong anytime soon!! All of you have a wonderful weekend and will be back on Monday with another protein rich ingredient.

      This reminds me of my childhood when my mom used to fill the pani puris with moong sprouts which was the only way we would eat them. Love this chaat !

      Such a wholesome and wonderful way to use the sprouts usha. Your clicks are simply stunning! I enjoyed all your mong dal dishes though making them at one go could be boring. Great job still in coming up with such variety and sinful pics.
