We used to prepare Mumg Usal a kind of less gravy spicy curry. We eat this with Rotis. I am feeling hungry now....
Here is my picture of the sprouted mung, full of protein. I avoid eating it raw though and usually microwave it for 7 minutes with a spoonful of water and salt to taste and cover with a lid. i will cook it and then upload a pic next. A recipe for healthy eating!
I am soaking some mung today and will send you the pictures of sprouts soon.
Even though Bean Sprouts are high in protein,they should not be eaten in raw form. They are carcinogenic when raw. I usually microwave the sprouts for about 5 minutes.
