Radish Sprouts Curry

Delicious Radish Sprouts Curry

As we all know, sprouts are packed with lots of nutrition. Sprouts have become an integral part in the daily diet for many people.

There has been a debate whether to eat sprouts raw or cooked. 

According to FDA, “Rinsing sprouts first will not remove bacteria. Home-grown sprouts also present a health risk if they are eaten raw or lightly cooked. Cook sprouts thoroughly to reduce the risk of illness. Cooking kills the harmful bacteria.”

I recently bought a box of radish sprouts that looked so fresh and appetizing. After knowing that we should cook them thoroughly and avoid eating raw, I thought of making a curry with it for eating with chapathis.  It came out so delicious. I didn’t use any oil for the curry and made it entirely in microwave. 

Ingredients: (Serves 1-2) 1 cup Radish Sprouts 1 Potato 1 small Onion 1 Tomato ½ tsp Cumin seeds 2 or 3 Cloves A pinch of Turmeric Cilantro to garnish Salt ½ tsp red Chili Powder 2-3 Green Chilies Method: Rinse radish sprouts well. Peel, wash and chop potato into cubes. Wash and chop onion + tomato + green chilies into small pieces. Add all these to a microwave safe bowl. Add cumin seeds + cloves + red chili powder + turmeric to the bowl and mix well. Add salt as needed and mix well. Pour a little amount of water to soak the contents. Microwave it for 10 min, mix and mw again for 5 more minutes or until the vegetables are cooked well. Leave it in the microwave for a minute, stir well and enjoy with chapathis. Yummy!!
