Ingredients
Grains
Vegetables & Herbs
- 2 tbsp Spring Onions chopped
- 1/4 cup Bell Peppers for garnish, or red onion, red, thinly sliced
Spices & Flavorings
- 1 tsp Pepper black
- 1 tsp Chaat Masala
- 3 tsp Chutney green
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the boiled moong dal sprouts, wheat, bajra, and green chana.
- Season the grain mixture with salt and black pepper. Adding salt at this stage helps to season the grains thoroughly.
- Sprinkle chaat masala over the grains for a tangy and savory flavor.
- Add the green chutney. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the grains and chutney are evenly distributed.
- Mix in the chopped spring onions. Their sharp flavor adds a refreshing contrast to the grains.

- Garnish with thinly sliced red bell pepper (or red onion) and a few spring onion flowers for a pop of color and visual appeal.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- You can add any seasonal vegetables of your choice to this salad.
- For extra crunch and a flavor boost, add a handful of roasted peanuts or lightly toasted sunflower seeds just before serving.
- If you prefer a tangier note, squeeze fresh lemon or lime juice over the salad right before eating, or add a spoonful of pomegranate arils for bursts of sweetness and color.
- To save time, soak and cook the grains in advance, then store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; assemble the salad fresh to maintain the crispness of the spring onions.
- For a spicy twist, finely chop green chilies or drizzle a bit of spicy mint-coriander chutney over the salad before tossing.
Expert Tips
- Toasting the grains before cooking can add a nutty depth of flavor to the salad.
- For a heartier salad, consider adding grilled chicken or chickpeas.
- Balance the flavors by using a combination of fresh herbs, such as mint, cilantro, and parsley.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It's best to store the dressing separately and add it just before serving to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
