I am also planning to do that throughout this summer. One variety for each week. Let's see how that goes.:) They taste quite good, Trupti. Give it a try. Deepika: A classic recipe. Somehow, fresh coconut addition brings magic to these types of sprouts. Isn't it? Thanks Pavani. Vijay too.:) He loves dubba sanagalu prepared guggullu style. Anusha: Vaayanalaki vellede veeti kosam kada chinnappudu. :)Yum, yum treat. They really are healthy food. Thanks Jyothi. Hi Padmaja, I would love to try swiss chard pulusu you have mentioned. So-far the only things I cooked with this green veggie are pappu(dal) with toordal and simple stir-fry like we do with spinach. Hi Anu: Glad to hear that you find Mahanandi useful. Congratulation to newly weds. Happy cooking! Finally a tiny bit of info about mysterious freshma.:) So, you are from AU/NZ. Me too. Thanks Sowjanya. Sreenidhi, yes steam-cooked ones make a great addition to salads. Pritya: The kadi combination sounds good to me. Another splendid recipe idea, thanks very much for sharing. Sia: They look so pure and fresh just like fresh snow.:) Sprouts are magic, I agree. Thank you! Sorry to hear about the indigestion experience, Nav.:) Yep, cooking will make these big type of seed sprouts little bit easy to digest. Supriya: What a great plan!

You are so right about being cautious of not eating them raw. Last year, I had sprouted green gram (pesallu) and was so excited, ate a quarter pound of them raw and had a nasty indigestion experience ;o) I should try steam cooking them this time :) Cheers, Nav Indira,

We sprout all kinds of pulses - math, green gram, peas, chick peas. I like your idea of using a sprayer. They taste awesome in salads, I prefer them parboiled or as you say, steam-cooked. I also prefer using this sprouted version for a veggie. We love its simplest veggie version with oil and tempering and simply spices from the masala kit with a dash of dried mango powder. This is mostly accompanied with Kadhi in which 2 ladles of the veggie are tossed in. Simply tasty. It is called Chana ri dal aur chana ri kadhi. Hey Indira, that looks good and so healthy.

Will they go in a salad too ? Never had sprouted kala-chana, though I regularly use them just as.

I made pulusu with swiss chard and added steamed spouted senagalu. Don't know if this is a traditional combination, but it was a huge hit. It was nice to be able to cook a locally available green vegetable. I'm looking to your blogpost on swiss chard some time. Indira, I sprouted senagalu over the weekend too.
