Fruity Bean Salad

by Tarla Dalal

I often create new recipes with what is left in the refrigerator. Many of these creations work and my family lets me

know when they don't. This is one of the recipes that got a hearty nod. It provides adequate amounts of calcium,

vitamin C and fibre. Sprouting the pulses increases their nutrient content and also makes them easier to digest as

compared to whole unsprouted pulses.

Preparation Time: 20 mins.

Cooking Time: 30 mins.

Serves 8.

Ingredients

2 cups mixed sprouts

3/4 cup apples, chopped
segments of 1 orange

1/2 cup chopped spinach (palak) leaves
1 green chilli, finely chopped (optional)

 To be mixed into a dressing
3/4 cup fresh curds (dahi)

Tips

kitchen towel before adding the dressing
