NOTES/TIPS

Do not overcook the sprouts, as the sprouts should be crunchy in taste.

You can use only sprouted green gram if you do not have mixed sprouts.

Ensure that the cooked basmati rice is fluffy and not mushy.  1 cup of raw basmati rice will give you 2 cups of cooked basmati rice. Cook for 1 : 1.5 ratio (rice : water) in pressure cooker for 3 whistles or microwave on 100 percent high for 10 minutes.
