Salads are fast taking an important place in India's diet. People have become more fitness and nutrition conscious. There are thousands of salads recipes. Infact salads are a cook's easiest imagination. I made this sprouted black gram salad which is tasty as well as healthy. In Maharashtra this is called "usal" and why I am calling it an usal because I have chosen few ingredients from Usal's recipe. Here I am sharing the recipe with pictures.
Ingredients:
Sprouted black gram - 2 bowls
Onion - 1 chopped in small pieces
Tomatoes - 2 medium chopped in small pieces
Green Chilly - 1 chopped
Coriander leaves - 4-5 tbs chopped
Curry leaves - 4-6
Mustard seeds - 1 tbs
Cumin Seeds- 1/2 tbs (optional)
Asafoetids - A very small pinch
Salt to taste
Lemon Juice
Method:
Parboil the sprouted gram.
In a pan, heat 2 tbs of oil. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves and when they splutter add chopped onion, chilly and saute for two minutes.
Now add chopped tomatoes. Saute for a minute, add a small pinch of asafoetida and add parboiled gram in it.
