Sprouted Green Gram Sambar Recipe
I recently found that hubby is loving sprouts a lot. Now I am having a huge container of sprouts in my fridge. I am making salads out of it and every now and then I am adding it into upma and so on.
But last week I thought to make sambar out of it. Everything turned out pretty good together. I loved the tart and sweet combo in that sambar. This is so much healthier and goes great with hot rice.
