Sprouted Moong Pulao - A new beginning
When life gives you lemons, go make lemonade! When I was given this box of beautiful looking sprouted moong from my friend T, I had to make something wonderful out of it... Did I tell you that I don't eat sprouted moongs already ? So I made this flavorful pulao and trust me anyone (even me who doesn't like sprouted moong) will fall in love with this dish...
While we are talking of life and lemons, it has been a crazy few months. I will be changing jobs after being at the same place for eons. Today was my last day at my old place and I start at my new place tomorrow. So here is to a new beginning for me and anyone who is reading this!
So here is a simple flavorful and healthy pulao everyone - Enjoy!

- 2 cups of cooked Rice
- 1 and 1/2 cup of sprouted moong
- 2-3 Bay leaves
- couple of cloves
- 2 small sticks of cinnamon
- 1 tea spoon of red chili powder (if you want to make it a little spicy)
- 1 tablespoon of ghee
- 1 tea spoon of Jeera or Cumin Seeds
- 1 tea spoon of lemon juice
- Salt to taste (optional)
How To
- Cook Rice with a little bit of salt (Salt is optional). Make sure the rice is not over done.
