Sprouted dals r very healthy n full of proteins, as i had a bowl full of sprouted greengram n as well as zucchini in my fridge, thought of creating myself this recipe, as i need a side for my hot idlies..the result was amazing n delicious, mildly spicy n healthy, everyone at home liked them much...this kurma goes awesome with hot rice n papads too...

1/2 cup Sprouted greengram
1tsp Ginger paste
1tsp Garlic paste

2nos Bay leaves, cinnamon sticks n cloves
1no Onion medium ( chopped finely)

1tsp Peppercorns n cumin seed
