Horse Gram Sprouts Salad | Mulaikatiya Kollu Salad

I have brought Horse Gram / Kollu from my native trip and have updated my good old Horse gram Sprouts Post with Video Recipe. I have several good recipes (recipe links follows) using those sprouts and once such healthy thing is this Horse Gram Sprouts Salad. Addition of raw sprouts (no cooking), raw veggies, Oil free, fat free (when you skip cheese or paneer) and no processing such direct intake is a good way to maximize its benefits. This salad was approved by my 8 year old girl who loves salad like me :-). When it comes to salad nowadays I can’t skip boiled peanuts but feel free to add your favorite legume and veggies here.  Lets check the recipe in detail.

• Once pressure goes off drain the excess water and keep it ready.
• Also chop, slice and make the other raw ingredients ready.
• In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients mentioned in the ingredient list except crouton.
• Gently mix all together from top to bottom.
• Top it with Croutons and serve.
