Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups sprouted moong beans
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 cucumber chopped
  • 1 tomato finely chopped
  • 1 potato boiled and cubed
  • 1 green chilli finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon red chilli powder
  • 1 teaspoon chaat masala
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • A few coriander leaves finely chopped

Instructions
 

Cook the sprouts

  • Wash the sprouted moong beans thoroughly. Boil or steam them in water for 5–7 minutes until they are just tender but still hold their shape. Avoid overcooking to retain their crunch.

Cool completely

  • Drain the sprouts and allow them to cool completely. This step is important to keep the salad fresh and prevent excess moisture.

Mix the vegetables

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled sprouts, chopped onion, cucumber, tomato, boiled potato, green chilli, red chilli powder, and chaat masala. Mix gently so the potato cubes stay intact.

Season just before serving

  • Add salt and lemon juice just before serving. This helps prevent the vegetables from releasing water and keeps the salad crisp.

Garnish and serve

  • Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the moong sprouts; they should be soft yet slightly crunchy for the best texture and nutritional value.
  • Always allow the sprouts to cool completely before mixing with vegetables to avoid excess moisture.
  • Add salt and lemon juice just before serving to prevent the salad from turning watery.
  • Adjust green chilli and red chilli powder according to your spice preference.
  • Boiled potato is optional but adds softness and makes the salad more filling.
  • For extra crunch and nutrition, add roasted peanuts, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds.
  • This salad tastes best when served fresh and is not recommended for long storage.
  • To make it more filling, you can add boiled chickpeas, paneer cubes, or tofu.
