Sprouted Moong curry is healthy, nutritious and has an excellent fresh flavor. Sprouted Mung beans are full of protein. They can be cooked in several ways, I made this in coconut gravy. You just need to soak whole moong bean overnight and then left it in a warm place with covered cloth, so that they can easily start sprouting. It is a delicious, quick and one pot curry. It can be eaten with roti, steamed rice or paratha.
