Today I made this healthy and tasty sprouted moong chat for evening snacks.This is very simple to make.Requires few ingredients and quick one to do if the sprouts are on hand.I usually make the sprouts at home once a week or sometimes once in a fortnight.Use the sprouts in various recipes like salads, side dish, for making misal,sprouted rice etc.
