Pro tips
- For extra crunch, add finely chopped bell peppers or grated carrots.
- A pinch of ginger-garlic paste can be added for a more pungent flavor.
- To make it a fuller meal, add some paneer cubes or boiled chickpeas.
- Ensure the moong dal is completely cooled before mixing to prevent wilting of other ingredients.
Method
- 1If using raw moong dal, soak it overnight and then sprout it for 1-2 days until small tails appear.
- 2Lightly steam the sprouted moong dal for 5-7 minutes until tender but still slightly crunchy. Drain and cool completely.
- 3In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled sprouted moong dal, chopped cucumber, red onion, tomato, green chilies, and fresh coriander leaves.
- 4Add the lemon juice, chaat masala, roasted cumin powder, black salt, and regular salt to taste. Drizzle with olive oil.
- 5Toss all the ingredients gently until well combined and coated with the spices and dressing.
- 6Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lemon or salt as desired.
