Sprout Chat / ಮೊಳಕೆ ಕಾಳಿನ ಚಾಟ್

I am writing this recipe inspired by a uncle and aunty who have a chat shop near Girinagara circle. When I was studying in Bangalore, 12 year back,  I used to enjoy this snack once in a while,  His small chat shop used to be always filled up with people. As I remember, Nippattu masala and Molike kaalu chats were famous. I learned from my sister that his shop is still running with same number of people in lined up. As I remember, this chat used have Moong sprouts, Tomato, Onion, fine sev and cilantro (coriander leaves) in it, I m not sure wha else he used to put. I just gave it a try, it turned out really good. My husband and my 2 little kids liked that too. Whenever we crave for some chats, I make this healthy chat.
We are eating more than what we usually used to eat beofore this COVID-19 pandemic. We crave for chats, snacks and what  not. Its also important to eat healthy as much as possible. This is a very easy recipe, does not need any fancy or special ingredients.I m sure everyone know how to make sprouted moong. if not click here. Give it a try and let me know how you liked it.
