Nice Recipe.
I added an equal amount of pre-soaked raw peanuts (Soak in cold water for about 2 hours)when adding the Sprouted Moong.
Spices normally taste strong when added to Moong so i added 3 tablespoons of Yoghurt after adding all the spices. Yoghurt helps to blend all the spices in a wholesome combination. If you fear ending up on the sour side add a little extra of the Red Chilli Powder to balance.
All in all a wonderful recipe.
Thank you..
