Sprouted Moong Beans Spinach Poori

I planned on making dosa, was doing it almost every week, felt bored to eat dosa again. As I poured the ground batter into a bowl, kept thinking how boring to eat dosa again and again. Why not eat something else, why not Poori for a change and completely transformed the dough from dosa batter to Poori batter and fried pooris for a change. Day 1 we had 5 pooris. By the time we ate 3, we were full. This poori is quite protein rich because of Sprouted moong beans. The second day I made, we just ate 3 each.

You can easily use the same recipe for making parathas. It becomes an healthier version with all nutrients.

Ingredients:

1. 2 cups Whole wheat flour
2. 1 cup spinach leaves – washed
3. 1 cup sprouted moong beans or hesaru kalu
4. 1/4 inch ginger
5. 3-4 green chillies
6. 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
7. Water to mix
8. Salt to taste
9. Oil to fry

Method:

In a mixer, grind the sprouted moong beans, washed spinach, ginger, green chillies and salt and grind to a smooth paste. In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, cumin seeds, ground mixture. Knead well to make a soft dough. I didn’t need any water. I had maybe 1/4 cup of water while grinding and so used the same.

Roll poori and fry in oil.

I served with potato, tomato, capsicum curry.
