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. The addition of raw sprouts (no cook sprouts), raw veggies, Oil free, fat free (when you skip cheese or paneer) and no processed food intake is a good way to maximize its benefits. This salad was approved by my 8 year old girl who loves salads 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.
