\nSprouted Mustard Seeds (Aavalu)<\/small><\/center><\/p>\n
One thing I did not expect from mustard seed sprouts was spiciness. God, they are hot. I don’t know how many of you had the experience of paan-supari<\/em><\/a>. The tongue tingles and burns at the same time, right? Mustard seed sprouts had the same effect. It starts with a bitter taste and then within few seconds, the whole tongue will feel like it’s on fire, ending with a chilled sensation. I liked the mustard sprouts ruchi<\/em>.<\/p>\n The sprouting process was easy. Soak couple of teaspoons of mustard seeds in water for four hours. Drain the water and take the soaked mustard seeds in a loosely woven cotton cloth. Place it in a colander near windowsill where the Sun shines. Frequently spray water to keep the seeds and the cloth moist. Within a day, the sprouts start to appear. Wait another day for them to grow little bit. Then add them in curries, kurmas, raita and in popu or tadka<\/a><\/em>. When added in moderation, mustard sprouts surely perk up a mature palate with rustic pungency.<\/p>\n For today’s meal, I prepared a yogurt based salad with mustard sprouts for parathas. Cucumber, carrot, mango, sweet onions, asafoetida, red pepper and salt mixed in yogurt; the poor mouth is still recovering from the flavor-jugalbandi<\/a> effect. <\/p>\n In a bowl, take yogurt and add the cucumber, carrot, mango and onion. Combine.<\/small><\/font> Recipes with Mustard Sprouts: Sprouted Mustard Seeds (Aavalu) One thing I did not expect from mustard seed sprouts was spiciness. God, they are hot.
