Instructions for Konkani Style Mooga Ghushi Recipe-Sprouted Whole Green Gram In Tangy Coconut Gravy

    1

    To begin making the Mooga Ghushi recipe, firstly soak the green gram overnight and drain all the water.

    2

    Cover with a wet towel and keep in a warm place to germinate. In about another day, they would have sprouted. Soak again in water for a couple of hours. Drain, wash and try to remove as much skin as possible.

    3

    In a pressure cooker, place the sprouted beans with some water and cook for about one whistle till soft and still holds its shape.

    4

    Meanwhile grind coconut, roasted red chillies and tamarind with a little water to a fine paste in a mixer grinder.

    5

    Transfer this coconut paste to the cooked green gram, add salt to taste and mix gently. Bring to a boil.

    6

    The next step is to season the gravy. Heat the oil in a tadka pan and add the mustard seeds.

    7

    Once it starts spluttering, add the curry leaves and pour this seasoning into the moong-coconut gravy and mix.

    8

    Serve Mooga Ghushi with hot steamed rice or phulkas with a Carrot and Beans Thoran (Subzi Recipe) by the side for a perfect weekday meal.
