Wash and cook the sprouted horse gram along with 2 cups of water in a pressure cooker.

Only the pressure cooker cools down, separate out the cooked water from the sprouted horse gram (cooked water can be used to prepare Rasam. For recipe, click here).

Chop onions and green chillies into fine pieces.

Heat a thick bottomed Kadai.  Add the oil, bengal gram dal After 10 seconds, add mustard seeds, turmeric powder, asafoetida. When mustard seeds start spattering, add green chillies, curry leaves (i did not add since it was out of stock at home...) and stir it for a while. Now add chopped onions and when onions turn golden brown, add cooked horse gram. Add salt, jaggery (optional) and lemon juice, grated coconut and cook for about 5 minutes.
