Sprouts are a way lot healthier. It's a known fact. These Moong Bean or Whole Green Gram Sprouts are a treat to our tastebuds.
Just look at this healthy and beneficial Pulao. Isn't it tempting?
And it's a best way to incorporate Sprouts in our daily food intake. Everyone will love this Pulao. Be it kids or the adults, they will definitely relish it if served alongside some Poppadums, Pickle and Raita of their choice. It's all good on it's own. It doesn't require anything extra but I love to serve this with some Homemade Potato Wedges or Chips.

They go along very well with this and not only that, you can serve it with your favourite Curry or Gravy as well. Simple Chicken Fry is also a good option with this. Whatever be the way it is served as, it is the best comfort food for me.
These Sprouts are also Homemade and absolutely pure and without any preservatives.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

2

In a pan, heat ghee and add mustard and cumin seeds. Let them crackle a bit before adding garlic mince, curry leaves, bay leaves and cinnamon stick.
3

Saute sliced onions now with ginger garlic mince until translucent. The raw smell of the onions should fade away before adding red chilli flakes and slit green chillies. You can add spices according to your choice

Finally add the sprouts and stir gently to mix all. Cover and cook just for about 7-8 minutes. Do not cook more than that. The crunch should be retained. And sprouts need not be cooked for a long time. A simple stir fry is more than enough. Adjust salt as required.

After done, add cooked rice and mix well. Do it with very light hands without much pressure. Sprinkle garam masala for that lovely aroma. Serve this yummy pulao as it is or with any gravy or raita of your choice.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
