Sprouted Moong Pulao

Sprouted Moong( Green Gram) Pulao - I made this up...........why because - I had these stuff handy& had to make a quick fix dinner for kids ........................Thanks to the Moong that I had soaked and forgot to cook ,therefore they sprouted:) Then there was left over rice from lunch..........Other ingredients I guess are just part of every kitcken. Somethings just fall into place when you least expect them to....necessity definitely is the mother of invention:))

Over to the recipe..............
