A few days ago my sister-in-law bought some seeds at the market. Little did I know that she didn't plan on planting them, she planned on sprouting and eating them. Before a few months ago, I had never seen anyone making their own sprouts, but this past Easter my aunt in the US proudly showed me the seeds she was sprouting and told me about all of the health benefits of eating sprouts. She has had many health problems and says that simply eating sprouts has help so much! I was so excited to see that they do the same thing here!
My sister-in-law used fenugreek (called methi here) seeds for her sprouts (my aunt really likes lentil sprouts). She first soaked the seeds in some water for several hours until they plumped up and became soft. Then she spread them out on a tray and put them into a dark cupboard.
We cooked our sprouts as we do many of our vegetables - curried with onion, tomato, plenty of ginger, turmeric, and a green chile pepper. They were so good! I also tried them uncooked, and they were really good like that too. I'm really looking forward to eating more of these.
