Sprouts can be a good source of protein for vegans and vegetarians. I don’t need a better reason than this to have sprouts in my third trimester. A cup of yogurt, 2 eggs, a cup of sprouts, a cup of dal should do for your daily protein intake. One can include paneer or tofu too!

Tempering makes everything tasty and refreshing. This simple sprouts salad can make a way in your daily recipes instantly. Just don’t forget to soak them a day ahead. Then wrap them in thin cotton cloth for whole night and put it in an air tight container. It takes literally 5 minutes to cook this recipe! Happy cooking!
