Sprouted moong chaat as a snack
Moong sprouts are rinsed and tossed with lemon, cumin, coriander and a little onion. You eat them as a snack, chewed well, not as a juice or a cleanse.
About sprouted moong chaat
Use sprouts that smell fresh and look dry, not slimy. Rinse them under running water and drain them well. Lemon, roasted cumin and chopped coriander are enough. A little onion matches the usual chaat, but leave it out if raw onion bothers you.
A bowl is a snack between meals or beside lunch. It does not promise kilos lost. Chew slowly. A very large bowl can feel gassy, so start with a small one.

How to prepare
