Making the Green Moong Dal Sprouts-
To make the moong beans sprouts, wash the beans and soak over night. Next day drain all the water, transfer the dal to a container and close with a lid. Keep the dal in a dark place. after a day open the lid and if the dal looks dry, sprinkle some water and place it back for the dal to sprout. In a day you should have the sprouts. If you prefer long sprouts, leave it for another half day.
