Instructions
Begin by preparing the sprouts a day in advance if using fresh seeds. Soak and sprout them before starting the cooking process.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Once they start to splutter, add curry leaves and asafoetida.
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chili, sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
Add chopped tomatoes, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and coriander powder. Cook until the tomatoes become soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Mix in the sprouts and sauté them for a few minutes until they are well coated with the masala.
Pour in 4 cups of water and add salt to taste. Cover and simmer the mixture for about 20 minutes or until the sprouts are cooked through.
Add tamarind pulp and let it cook for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon.
Serve hot misal with pav or bread rolls on the side.
