Week 3
Most people use green mung beans, but I had black mung beans at home, so I made this quick and delicious poha using sprouted black mung beans. These black mung beans are packed with protein and are especially popular in South Gujarat. They are also very healthy. Since I had these beans, I thought of sprouting them and making poha. They may look like black urad beans, but they are actually black mung beans.

Rinse the black mung beans well and soak them overnight. In the morning, drain the water, wrap the beans in a cloth, and let them sit for 2 days to sprout.

Rinse the poha and soak it in water for a few minutes, then drain.

After removing the peanuts, add mustard seeds to the same oil. When they start to pop, add cumin seeds, then add the sprouted mung beans and diced potatoes. Sprinkle a little water and cook for a few minutes. Add the chopped ginger, green chili, and curry leaves.

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix in the spices. Add the rinsed poha and mix everything well. Finally, add lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Add some of the fried peanuts, saving the rest for garnish.
