Sprouted Moong Salad

Ingredients
Sprouted Moong - 2 cups
Tomatoes - 2 chopped
Carrot - 1/2 cup grated
Onion - 1 chopped
Green chilli - 1 chopped
lemon juice - 2 t.sp
Cucumber - 1 small (washed & chopped)
coriander for garnishing
salt to taste

Method
For moong sprouts
Wash the moong and soak in water for about 6 to 8 hrs. Drain the water and put the soaked moong in a bowl or in a colander. Keep it covered. Leave it for about a day.

Once the moongs are sprouted, you can also use them raw for the salad. It is more healthier. But then we like it a little soft, so I steam the sprouts for some time. My mother used to use the raw sprouts as such.


Heat 1 t.sp oil in a pan, add onion. Once the onions are translucent add the green chilies, carrots and tomatoes. And cook for about a minute. Remove the pan from fire add salt, lemon juice, cucumber and the sprouted moong. Serve cold or warm.

Cucumber has also been proven good for fighting diabetes since it contains a hormone needed by the cells of the pancreas for producing insulin. So re-posting my previous post.

Gooseberry contains chromium. It has a therapeutic value in diabetics. Indian Gooseberry or Amla stimulate the isolated group of cells that secrete the hormone insulin. Thus it reduces blood sugar in diabetic patient. Just now read this in Illatharasi's roundup of AFAM - Gooseberry. So reposting my previous post
