# Place a kadhai with 2 table spoon oil on the medium flame.

As the oil heats up, just add mustard seeds to crackle and then curry leaves to sizzle.

# Then add peanuts and fry a little brown and crunchy.

( You can skip peanuts if you have peanuts mixture namkeen )

# Just add turmeric powder and salt to taste and immediately add soaked poha and sprouted moong and fry it well so that all spices could mix well with poha.

Fry poha well for 2 minutes only.

# Note...

1. Poha should be soft and seperated before frying.

If you find that poha is little hard then dip poha in the water and immediately strain it.

2. For making sprouted moong....just soak moong over night. Next day transfer it in a strainer covered with a plate... sprinkle a little water.

Let it rest whole day and night...now you will find well sprouted moong grains.
