Let’s now get to today’s quick to make recipe which takes more time to type this recipe and edit the pictures than to make it. If you have a batch of homemade moong sprouts this is a snack that comes together in under 10 mins.
I made this for lunch last weekend and it was quite filling.
Tips and Tricks to make yummy Moong Chaat
- You can sub with boiled Channa (chickpeas) if you dont have moong on hand
- Onions are optional, although they add a bit of crunch
- Boil Moong / Moong Sprouts till they are cooked, but not mushy. Drain all the water and then use it in the recipe
- Sometimes moong sprouts turn bitter when boiled, taste a bit before makign the chaat.
- Use of yoghurt is totally optional, but it rounds off the flavours in this chaat. If vegan, skip the yogurt or use a vegan substitute (UNFLAVOURED)
- You can also top this chaat with Farsan / Sev / Ompudi for added texture and flavour
Gluten free , almost oil-free, fuss free and wholesome. That’s my kind of snack. What’s your favourite ?
