Sprouted Horse gram - Fenugreek and Bottle gourd Curry


Ingredients:
  • Bottle gourd -1
  • Horse gram – 100 g
  • Fenugreek seeds – 1 Tea spoon
  • Onion – 1
  • Tomato – 1
  • Garlic cloves – 5
  • Sambar powder – ½ Table spoon
  • Turmeric powder – ¼ Tea spoon
  • Mustard seeds - ¼ Tea spoon
  • Salt as needed
  • Oil - 1 Table spoon
  • Curry leaves – few
  • Coriander leaves
 Method:
  • Soak horse gram and fenugreek separately in water for 8 to 12 hours, drain soaked water, wash with fresh water and cover them with wet cloth. In between rinse them with fresh water twice a day. In 24 hours they start sprouting. In the second day the sprouts are ready to use, so carefully wash the sprouts with fresh water by not breaking the tiny sprouts. Drain excess water and spread them in a clean plate.
  • Cook them with little water and grind to course paste and keep aside..
  • Chop bottle gourd, onion and tomato.
  • Heat oil in a vessel and add mustard seeds. When they pop up add onion and a pinch of salt. Fry till onion is slightly brown.
  • Add bottle gourd, tomato, curry leaves, turmeric powder and sambar powder. Mix and cook them well.
  • Now add ground horse gram – fenugreek sprouts, required amount of water for the gravy and crushed garlic cloves. Adjust salt and cook the mixture until it is done (in a slow flame).
  • Garnish with coriander leaves.
 Note:
  • This is an excellent recipe to reduce weight.
  • Since it is summer and horse gram is said to be heat producing…i have used fenugreek to compensate the total heat….the curry was delicious and sure you will like it.
