Alfalfa Sprouts

Do you know alfalfa sprouts are called father of all food? It takes 4-5 days to sprout but it’s easy. They are expensive at store and other issues so better sprout at home and it’s so cheap if you sprout at home.

You can use them in sandwich,wrap, salad. They go well with avocado.

Now a days everyone has plenty of time so why not do some experiments? Cost nothing and it’s fun. I bought seeds on amazon.

Enjoy!

9 Mixed Bean Sprouts – Nori Nem Special

In India , there are lot of festivals , fasting days and you eat something special on that day for 1 time . Nori nem is 1 of those days and it was 2 days back I think.

This dish is specially made on that day and you eat for lunch and no food after that .

Sprout 9 different beans and it’s cooked only with chopped ginger , green chilies. So little bland for Indian taste buds . Drizzle little oil before eating. This is ancient way and now we have those 9 grain breads. May be 9 is special.

I used whatever beans I had mung, mooth, masoor, dry peas, black Chana and sprouted them.

I added chopped onion, ginger , red chili powder , turmeric and salt. Also added little oil while cooking.

Turned out very yummy.

I don’t know the reason behind nori nem but it’s a healthy , nutritious, filling dish and i will eat any day , any day of the year.

Recipe , ideas were given by my “kaki” who is a wonderful cook . She is 1 of those who cooked from magazine recipes in those times and baked a cake in cooker .

Enjoy!
