Moong Sprouts Pulao | sprouts pulav recipeÂ
Moong Sprouts Pulao is another variant of pulao, with the addition of moong sprouts along with mixed vegetables. You can add any of your favourite veggies. Addition of moong sprouts not only makes the pulao healthy, but it also makes the dish filling.
This is a one-pot recipe and ideal to pack for lunch box or to serve for evening dinner. In comparison to the usual vegetable pulao, this recipe requires less quantity of rice as we are also adding moong sprouts. You can vary the proportion of rice and sprouts as per your liking.
We have added butter, but that is completely optional. Also if you have sprouts lying in your fridge then you can add them to any of your recipes or can even add chopped onions, tomatoes, lemon juice and serve.
