Instructions
 

  • Soak the moth beans in water for 2-3 hours to soften them.
  • Drain the soaked moth beans and place them in a muslin cloth. Cover and let them sprout for about 1 day.
  • Pressure cook the sprouted moth beans with salt, turmeric powder, and a small amount of water. Cook until the first whistle blows. This ensures the beans are tender but not mushy.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • Do not overcook the moth beans, or they will become mushy.
  • In winter, sprouts may take a little longer than one day to grow.

Expert Tips

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red chili flakes or a finely chopped green chili to the chaat masala.
  • Customize the vegetables based on your preference and seasonal availability. Cucumbers, carrots, and bell peppers are also great additions.
  • If you don't have sev available, crushed tortilla chips or crispy fried onions can provide a similar crunchy texture.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It's best to add the lemon juice and chaat masala just before serving to maintain optimal flavor and texture.
