Moong Sprouts Pav Bhaji

moong sprouts pav bhaji recipe
Moong Sprouts Pav Bhaji Recipe – A healthier version of the most popular Bombay pav bhaji. Pav Bhaji in itself is a wholesome and a proper balanced meal in itself. And if you make it at home, I believe everyone can enjoy this healthy street food without feeling guilty about health issues.

I love using sprouts as they are healthy and protein rich. But I never wanted to restrict them to just a salad. I often make pesarattu dosa with moong bean sprouts or a filling conjee too but it just gets monotonous sometimes.

Both the kids love sprouts in general and my little one can eat them as such. So the other day when the kids were asking for pav bhaji and I had only potatoes and sprouts in abundance, I decided to make this moong sprouts pav bhaji.

I also managed to make some pav buns from scratch also, which made the entire street food eating experience at home more enjoyable.

Apart from serving this with pav buns, these moong bean sprouts pav bhaji can also be served as a side dish for chapathis and pooris. You can also serve it as a frankie. I sometimes spread them on dosa too which the kids seem to love.

Other than sprouts you can also add other vegetables and any sprouts should do well in this recipe. I have steamed the moong sprouts as they get cooked very quickly while retaining their nutrients also.

But if you are going to use any other sprouts from chick peas or moth beans, I would suggest pressure cooking them for a longer time as they take some time to cook.
