Horse gram called Macrotyloma uniflorum has been around since the early ages – as early as 2000 BC! It was grown in Africa and Asia. Commonly it is known as kulith, hurdle, or Madras beans this is a poor people's superfood.

It is known as a miracle superfood. A traditional elixir for ailments like diabetes, heart disease, kidney stones, asthma, obesity, cold, and many more, horse gram is highly protein-rich, high in calcium, low in fat, and full of antioxidants.

Today I use these sprouted beans to make my full dinner for @qurator hive's top chef.
How to sprout them?

Wash thoroughly these beans two or three times. they contain some sand particles. After washed soak it for around 6-7 hours preferably overnight. After draining the water using a strainer tie them in a cheesecloth and keep them in a warm place for 24 hours. I put them in a tight container.

Here in Norway, the cold climate takes more than 1 day now it is summer, sprouts show up after 30 hours. From 1 cup of beans, I got 2 and 1/2 cups of sprouted beans and 3 cups of stock. I used them in full dinner.

First I cooked them (saving 1/2 cup sprout for salad) with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp turmeric with 4 cups of water in a pressure cooker for 3 blasts.

Using a strainer I separated beans from the stock using both.

this portion is for making bean rice.

This is a different way of processing sprouts. I'm curious about your salad. The addition of banana is really unusual for me in a salad. But I am very curious about the taste!

I bought it for something to cook. But after 3-4 days it started changing color and became soft. It has a different taste so I tried it in a salad And it worked out very well for together with the salad taste. Thanks for stopping by. :)

this is my favorite food no onion, no garlic, Satvik we called. On some special religious day, we are not allowed to use onion garlic. If you don't get that horse gram you can use brown lentils they are also very good for sprouts. Moong is very common and known sure you using them. :)
