Green mung beans are rich in proteins and easy to digest. Sprouted mung beans are highly nutritious. Make these savory and healthy green mung patties that are cooked in very little oil and can be used as starters, or in wraps, burgers or sandwiches.

Ingredients:

3 cups sprouted mung beans

3/4 cup rice flour

1 onion chopped

1 tsp grated ginger

1 green chili chopped

coriander leaves chopped

salt to taste

2 tsp ghee for cooking patties

Method:

How to prepare sprouts - Take raw green whole mung beans and soak them overnight in water. Throw the water away, transfer it to a colander so any extra water drains away, and cover it with a lid. It takes around 1 to 2 days to sprout. Stir it with a spoon a couple of times. You may keep a little longer for the long sprouts. And later put it inside the refrigerator in a box preferably with a perforated lid. It lasts for many days when refrigerated.

For Patties -

Take 3 cups of sprouted green mung beans. Boil mung in 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt in the pressure cooker until it starts to whistle, and switch off the gas. Green mung dal cooks very fast, so make sure it doesn't cook for more time otherwise it will become too soft. Strain the water well with a strainer and let the mung cool. Use this mung for patties. The strained water is as nutritious so you may not discard that. Flavor with lemon juice, and a little salt(is needed) and consume it.

Mix onion, chili, salt, rice flour, ginger, salt and coriander leaves. Mix well. Note that salt was added while boiling so add salt cautiously at this step. Rice flour gives crispness and has a neutral taste so all the other flavors remain intact. 

Make round-shaped patties.

In a flat pan on a mid-high flame, brush ghee with a silicon brush over the pan. Put patties on the pan and let them cook on one side.

Flip the patties and brush a little ghee over the patties. When both sides become golden brown, switch off the gas.

The patties are ready. Serve hot patties with coriander chutney and/or tomato chutney.
