Sprouted Moong Curry with Tomato

(From Banu's Cookbook)

Ingredients:
2 cups of Sprouted mung bean
2 Small Potatoes Chopped (Optional)
1 Medium Onion Chopped Fine
2 Tomatoes
2 Tsp of Coriander Powder
2 Tsp of Cumin Powder
1/4 Tsp of Garam Masala Powder
1/4 Tsp of Turmeric Powder
2-3 Tsp of Red Chilli Powder (or to taste)
Salt to Taste
2 Tsp of Oil
Cumin seeds for seasoning
Chopped Cilantro for garnishing

Method:
1. Pressure or microwave cook the sprouted mung bean along with Potato, onion and turmeric powder.
2. Grind into a smooth paste the tomatoes, and the powders (except Turmeric Powder).
3. Heat oil in a sauce pan and add cumin seeds. Then add the ground masala paste and cook for 5-8 minutes or until the raw smell is gone.
4. Add the cooked Mung bean mixture. Add salt and let it cook on low heat for 10 mins or so - this is to make sure that the mung bean mixture absorbs the masala paste.
5. Add chopped cilantro for garnishing and serve it hot with chapathi or rice.
