Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the sprouts a day in advance if using fresh seeds. Soak and sprout them before starting the cooking process.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Once they start to splutter, add curry leaves and asafoetida.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Step 4

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chili, sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.

Step 5

Add chopped tomatoes, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and coriander powder. Cook until the tomatoes become soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

Step 6

Mix in the sprouts and sauté them for a few minutes until they are well coated with the masala.

Step 7

Pour in 4 cups of water and add salt to taste. Cover and simmer the mixture for about 20 minutes or until the sprouts are cooked through.

Step 8

Add tamarind pulp and let it cook for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon.

Step 10

Serve hot misal with pav or bread rolls on the side.
