Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed sprouts (moong, matki, chana, etc.)
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 1 medium, finely chopped Tomato
- 4 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 inch, grated Ginger
- 1 small, finely chopped Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Coriander leaves
- 2 tablespoons Oil
Instructions
Rinse the mixed sprouts thoroughly under cold water. In a pot, add the sprouts with enough water to cover them and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let them simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until they are tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter. Then add asafoetida (hing).
Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chili, cooking for another 2 minutes until aromatic.
Add the chopped tomato, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Cook until the tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the boiled sprouts to the pan and mix well, ensuring they are coated with the spice mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk and let the mixture simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to incorporate deeply into the sprouts.
Adjust the consistency of the misal by adding water if needed. Since this is a low sodium recipe, salt is intentionally omitted; however, you can adjust to taste if you need a minimal amount.
Turn off the heat and add lemon juice. Stir to combine.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot as a healthy, flavorful meal, ideally accompanied by pav or rice.
