COOKING MADE EASY

Cooked Sprouts Here is another healthy and easy recipe which is quick to cook. For the beginners, who are not familiar with the wide range of pulses, I have posted a description and pictures (from google) of Green Gram (known as Moong in Hindi) and also how it looks originally and once it's spouted.

Once its ready ,garnish with some sliced pistachios and sliced almonds and once its cooled down, refrigerate it and serve chilled. You can also mix some almonds and pistachios in the custard mixture before putting it for baking.

Always remember to cover it with foil while putting it in the fridge so ...
