Instructions

Making the salad

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan
    Add turmeric and chopped green chillies, onions and tomatoes and lightly sauté, you don’t want to lose the crunch.
    Add the sprouts, salt, and chaat masala (substitute with cumin-coriander-black salt) and cover.
    Let the sprouts steam and soften a bit, about 10 mins.
    Remove from heat, squeeze some lemon or lime juice, top with chopped cucumbers and some bhujia or crushed potato/tortilla chips.
    Serve as a snack or a side salad.
