Sprouted Moong Dal Curry

Moong dal(whole or split) is used to make delicious dals and curries. Moong dal in particular is very easy to digest. They take on seasonings and spices very well. For me dal is a very comforting food just like any other rich foods.
Here is a recipe for simple and quick sprouted moon dal curry which I served with Jeera Rice for Sunday's Diwali Lunch. It's big hit with everyone now and I'm planning to cook it again very soon.
