Specially i love it with my fruit salad, i will post that tomorrow..Making sprouts at home is not at all a big deal..It is so easy to make, i have been buying sprouts from shop all these days. But when i discovered the art of making it at home, i never go back to the supermarket stuff. You can sprouts any whole bean of your choice. You can consume these sprouted beans even raw or in salads. They are so protein rich substance to add to your diet.

Now cover them with fresh water and let them soak for 6 to 8 hours.
Now drain them completely. Now add them to a hot case or any container and cover them. leave them for 8 to 10 hours or overnight.
Now you can see small sprouts peeking from them.
Transfer them to a air tight container and store them in fridge for upto a week.

    I made sprouted mung beans just last week because we can't find them so frequently in our supermarkets. and apart from that i love to make as many things at home for cooking because then i actually know and see what goes in during the process :).
    I made a spicy batter from flour and coated the sprouted beans in it and fried it. It was simply heavenly!! The crunchy batter combined with the soft sprouts was really good!!
