Sprouts Pulao

Sprouts Pulao

I know the word "sprouts" is not what everybody would love to hear! But after you try this, you will love sprouts too :) (Atleast I have started liking it )

Lets start with how to make sprouts without creating a mess:

You can make sprouts with many varieties of grams. I prefer to go with Green gram and horse gram as these help a lot in reducing your tummy :) Rich in Protein too!


Take as much gram as you want and soak it in water the previous night. Morning filter out the water and put it in an air-tight container and keep it aside throughout the day and if required even the night!

Here you go, your bowl of sprouts is all set ready!

Ingredients for sprouts pulao:

Servings: 2

Onion - 1 [finely chopped]
Green peas - 1/2 cup
Carrot - 1 medium sized [chopped like cubes]
Potato - 1 small sized [chopped like cubes]
Capsicum - 1/2 [chopped]
Sprouts - 1 cup
Cabbage - 4 leaves [chopped]
Ginger Garlic paste - 2 Tea spoons
Salt to taste
Basmati Rice - 1 cup [wash it and soak it for atleast 15 minutes]
Oil -4 Tea spoon
Green chilli - 1 [chopped or paste]
Mint - 4-5 leaves

This is what you need to do:
Heat oil in a cooker and fry onions until it turns brownish. Add all other vegetables and sprouts and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add 2 spoons of Ginger garlic paste and 2-3 mint leaves. Cook for another 2 minutes. Add soaked Basmati Rice and salt to taste.
Add 1 cup of water [my basmati rice requires water in 1:1 ratio] and pressure cook. I usually leave it for 2-3 whistles and turn it off!

Goes good with Raithas and curries :)

Non-spicy and delicious Sprouts Pulao is all set ready to eat :)
