Method:
Soak the lentils overnight, next day…drain the water and cover them up, leave the set-up for at least 12-15 hours, you’ll notice sprouts coming up.
In a wide wok, heat ghee. Add all the spices one by one(cloves, cinnamon cardamom, bay leaves, anise, fennel seeds and curry leaves). Wait till they pop and splutter.
Now add grated chilies, onion, ginger and garlic paste. Fry real good. Maybe till their raw smell leaves the pan.
Now stir-in tomatoes and fry till they lose water content and oil shows up on top.
Add salt and turmeric to it. Then add 2 cups of water and bring this to boil, let this get cooked over medium heat for 20 minutes.
Add the sprouts to the curry. Meanwhile wet-grind cilantro and mint leaves.
