Sprouted beans Sambar

Making sambar everyone knows. Using beans daily has become one of my cooking practice. And recently I added sprouts to sambar and it tasted very good.

I make different bean sprouts almost once in every 2 weeks. It is best in the first week and good on the second week. We usually make sprouts salad once in a week. I will post the recipe very soon for that.

Tamarind - 1 small ball size
sambar powder - 1 tsp
Sambar masala - 3 tsp (optional)
Asofoedita - 1/4 tsp
Turmeric-1/2 tsp
Masoor dal - 3/4 cup
sprouted beans-1 cup
Pumpkin/chayote/sugar beet-10 pieces
cinnamon powder - 1/2 tsp

Notes.

1. How to sprout?

I sprout moong, brown bean(moth), red bean (moth), black urad, little fenugreek by soaking them for 8 hrs. Filter water and keep them in breathable vessels, covered for 2 nights. I usually use stainless steel siever and steamer covered with lid.

2. How to make Sambar masala powder?

I usually make it in bulk and add it to sambar and some types of kutu.

Chana dal - 1 cup
Coriander seeds - 1 cup
Red chilli - few (as per taste)

Dry roast chana dal, coriander seeds and red chilli seperately. Let it cool completely and powder coarsely (not very fine or very coarse).
