Instructions
- Sprout the moong and black-eyed beans. Once sprouted, put the beans in a pan and add water till sprouts are covered. Add salt and turmeric. Cook on low heat for 5-6 minutes (or until the sprouts are slightly tender). Strain the extra water and then add ghee.
- Roast Cumin Seeds: Put the cumin seeds on a piece of aluminum foil and put it in the toaster for 2-3 minutes at 250 degrees F. until they start to turn golden brown. Take them out and crush them in a coffee grinder.
- Add the chopped vegetables and pomegranate arils to the sprouts. Sprinkle with all the spices and lemon/lime juice and mix gently. Sprinkle with the coriander leaves.
- Variation: Instead of the chopped vegetables, you can mix chopped fruits like banana, orange, grapes, mangoes, apple, pear and pomegranate or cooked/roasted sweet potato. The rest of the ingredients and the method remains the same. You can try adding any other fruit or vegetable that you like.
- Serve as an appetizer or a snack.
