Method with step by step pictures :
- Wash and soak the green moong dal in water, for 6 hours.

- Drain the water completely.
- Spread this in a casserole (hot box| hot pack) and close it and keep it untouched for 10- 12 hours.(preferably over night). Do not crowd the hot box, use a bigger one to spread it well.

- I soaked at 9 am in the morning and put this in the hot box around 3 pm. I opened at 6 am in the morning.

- You can see the nice moong sprouts the next morning.
- Store this in an airtight container and keep it inside the refrigerator.
- This sprouts will stay good for 8-10 days.
Notes:
- The quality of green moong bean is most important and if it is a old stock or too dried ones, sprouting will not happen properly.
- Always select a dark green colour green moong bean.
- Always soak the green moong dal in clean drinking water.
- Soaking time should not be less than 6 hours.
- If using any other lentil like black channa or white channa, soak for 10 to 11 hours.
