Sprouted Matki or Moth Beans Salad

Moth Beans are used in the form of sprouts in this salad. A tasty and unique salad goes perfectly with the meal. I simply love this salad because it makes raw mango so delightful. It's always my favorite for lunch or during evening tea time. 


This is other version of salad with steamed sprouts and they are extremely nutritious which is high in fiber, low in fat and rich in vitamins and minerals. We generally make it a point to have at least some type of sprout legumes in a week. Matki salad is the easiest to make, tastes amazing and very healthy.
