Sprouted Peas Masala Recipe- Ingredients

Sprouted Dried Peas - 1 cup
Onion - 1 (finely chopped)
Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric - 1/2 tsp
Chilly Powder - 1 tbsp
Salt - to taste

To temper:

Oil - 3 tbspn
Mustard seeds -1 tsp
Fennel seeds - 1/2 tsp

Method:

1. Pressure cook the sprouted peas for 2 or 3 whistles(do not over cook)with salt and turmeric powder.
2. Heat oil in a kadai and the items in "to temper" list, then add the onions along with a pinch of salt, add the chilly and garam masala powders and saute till raw smell leaves.
3. Add the cooked peas and toss till the masala is coated well. Your sprouted peas masala is ready to serve with rice ,roti or even in your sandwich.

My Notes:

• Mine is a dry version you are free to add a tbsp of coriander powder while sauting and 1/2 cup of water to make a thin gravy.
• If you do not like biting on fennel seeds you can use fennel seeds powder.But I would recommend the use of fennel as whole or in powder form for this enhances the taste of the dish.
