Moong Bean Sprouts Stirfry !

It has been a while I posted on the blog, thanks for having stopped by though. Last couple of days there isn’t much of heavy cooking and have been preparing some simple easy dishes. I had prepared this simple moong sprouts stirfy, very healthy and nutritious, prepared in Indian style, mentioning it because when it comes to mung sprouts, people tend to think of Chinese dishes. This used to be our snack as kids, as we were not allowed to have too much of chips or chocolates or eating anything out. This is a perfect dish if someone is on a diet plan !

Ingredients:
3 cups moong sprouts
1 1/2 tbsp oil
1/4 tsp  mustard seeds
2 –3 small green chilies, chopped
1 strand of curry leaves
1/2 cup onions, chopped
salt to taste
pinch of turmeric

Preparation Method:
