Here I am presenting to you a healthy dish loaded with nutrients. I have used sprouted green gram to make a Kadhi. Sprouts are called super foods because of their protein, fibre and vitamin B content.

Sprouts are sources  of complete nourishment. Now, I turned this super healthy food into a delicious Kadhi, a curd based gravy and it is lightly spiced. You all know how invariably sprouts are used in salads and even consumed as-is, you just have to blend in some spices and a delicious meal is ready in under 30minutes. Serve it with jeera rice or just plain steamed rice and you will not be disappointed.
