Instructions
  1. Wash the mung bean / green gram / pasi payir.
  2. Soak it for 8 hours at least or overnight.
  3. Rinse twice and drain the excess water, here I placed the soaked beans over the sieve so it drains automatically and starts sprouting.
  4. We call the siever as Jalladai in tamil , place it over a bowl or hot pack and tightly wrap the top with wet cloth.
  5. Leave it as it is in a dark warm room for 8 hours, later you can see sprouts showing up.
  6. Sprinkle water on and off say for every 6 hours and gently turn the sprouts.
  7. In another 16 to 32 hours you see well sprouted mung beans as shown in the video.
  8. Rinse them gently and dry on a towel for 30 minutes.
  9. Later seal it in an air tight container for future use.
  10. Prick the cover with needle at 5-6 spots so the sprouts breath when stored in the refrigerator.

  11. Store them in refrigerator and handle with clean hands for next 5 - 7 days.
  12. You may freeze after that.
