Ingredients
  

  • Sprouted Moong Green Gram: 1 Cup (Freshly sprouted)
  • Pomegranate Seeds: ¼ Cup Adds sweetness and color

Method
 

  1. Rinse the Sprouts: Start by rinsing the sprouted moong in clean water and drain completely. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
  2. The Mix-Up: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sprouted moong, chopped onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and pomegranate seeds.
  3. Seasoning: Add the chaat masala, salt, and green chilies. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture.
  4. Toss Gently: Give everything a good toss so the spices and lemon juice coat all the ingredients evenly.
  5. Final Garnish: Top it with fresh coriander and roasted peanuts just before serving to keep the crunch alive.

Pro-Tips 

  • Vibrant Presentation: Use a transparent bowl or a hollowed-out bell pepper (Capsicum) to serve the chaat. It looks incredibly professional and creative!
  • Crunch Factor: Don't add the salt or lemon juice too early if you are preparing this in advance; it will make the vegetables watery. Add them just before the judges arrive.
  • Extra Nutrition: You can add grated carrots or finely chopped raw mango for an extra zing and Vitamin C.
