Notes
How to make sprouts?
To make sprouts you need to soak moong dal for 6 hours. Then strain out all the water. Cover soaked dal with a thick napkin or kitchen towel and keep it in a warm place for 6 - 8 hours or overnight. It requires hot and humid conditions to grow the sprouts. So it may take longer on winter days.Nutrition
