Horsegram(muthira/kulith) Sprouts

Horsegram sprouts with grated coconut and jaggery is a recipe straight from my mom's kitchen. A very healthy breakfast option and is as simple as it gets.

Horsegram is a legume that is high in iron, a good source of protein and a fairly good source of calcium. Sprouting or germination is a simple method of food processing that increases nutritive value. Combined with jaggery which is known for its iron content, makes this preparation highly nutritive for growing kids.

Ingredients-

1/2 glass horsegram

jaggery

grated coconut

cardamom powder

Preparation-

• Wash, clean horsegram and soak overnight.
• Drain the water and clean the seeds removing all the non-viable ones. These seeds will remain hard and are very unpleasant to bite into if not cleant.
• Tie in a cloth and let it sprout for 8 hours.
• Pressure cook the horsegram with water. After one whistle check if its soft enough.
• Spoon it into a bowl, add jaggery grated coconut and cardamom powder.
• Your breakfast of sprouted muthira with jaggery and grated coconut is ready to be devoured.
