Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of any grain or lentil. I have used methi and fenugreek
  • water for soaking

Equipment

  • vessel
  • colander
  • thin muslin cloth

Method
 

  1. Soak the grains for eight to ten hours.
  2. Drain the water and put them in a colander for sometime.
  3. In a clean muslin cloth, tie them and keep it covered in a warm place for eight to ten hours.
  4. Check if the grains are sprouted. Otherwise, put them back for some more time.
  5. Keep the sprouts in a clean container in the refrigerator. Use them within three days.

Notes

The soaked grain should be soft and edible.
Check the grain if it has sprouted. If kept for a longer period, it can turn to be slimy and not fit for use.
The soaking time and sprouting duration varies for each grain. You need to check it.
