    Sprouts curry recipe a delicious vegetarian, low GI, healthy and protein rich curry recipe. A perfect light summer meal that is rich in fibre and good for gut health.

    This curry is inspired from Ussal which is sprouted lentil curry served as popular maharashtrian dish Misal pav. The major difference between usal and this sprout moong curry is the masala gravy. The gravy base in this sprout curry is much lighter and healthier.

    If you are looking for some recipe to use lentil sprouts other than salad or chaat you can make this Sprout curry from Indian cuisine.

      How is it more healthy than usal, a maharashtrian dish? I am curious to know.

      Please advise on what flame should a cast iron vessel be kept for seasoning?
      By the way, though I have yet to try out your recipes, they are well presented and, I'm sure will turn out delicious, simple fare. Thanks. Look forward to reading more from you, specially recipes using cast iron ware.
