Instructions

Here's how to sprout horse gram

• Rinse the horse gram and soak it in water overnight or for at least 8 hours.

  After soaking, drain the water and transfer the horse gram onto a cotton or muslin cloth. Gently wrap the cloth around the horse gram and place it in a bowl.

  Cover the bowl with a lid and keep it in a warm place.

  Alternatively, you can add the soaked and drained horse gram directly into a bowl, cover it with a lid, and also store it in a warm place.
Sprinkle a little water over the cloth every 8-10 hours to help the horse gram grow easily.

Assembling the Salad

• Add all ingredients mentioned other than dressing ingredients into a mixing bowl.
• Mix all dressing ingredients in a separate bowl, pour over the salad, and gently toss. Enjoy!🧡
