Fried moong sprouts Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Start by sprouting the moong beans. Rinse the beans thoroughly and soak them in water overnight. Drain the water and place the beans in a clean cloth or sprouting jar. Keep them covered and let them sprout for about 24 hours, rinsing them with water every few hours.
• STEP 2.Once the moong beans have sprouted, heat oil in a deep pan or kadai for frying. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the sprouts.
• STEP 3.Add the sprouted moong beans to the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy. Stir occasionally to ensure even frying.
• STEP 4.Once the sprouts are fried, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
• STEP 5.Season the fried moong sprouts with salt, red chili powder, chaat masala, and any other desired spices. Toss them gently to coat the sprouts evenly with the spices.
• STEP 6.Serve the fried moong sprouts hot as a snack or appetizer. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a side of chutney or yogurt dip.
• STEP 7.Store any leftover fried moong sprouts in an airtight container at room temperature. They can be stored for up to 2-3 days.
• STEP 8.To reheat the sprouts, place them in a preheated oven at 350掳F (180掳C) for a few minutes until they become crispy again.
