Green Moong Dal Sprouts is one of the easiest sprouts that you can make at home without any special utensils. I have been making this sprouts for years now at my home and use them in curries and sundal. Just like the soaked moong dal, you can use this sprouts in any dishes you like.
Today is the final day of Mega BM ,this month I have posted on all days except Sundays under various themes. Hurray !! I did without skipping a day ! I thoroughly enjoyed this series and learned a lot from my fellow bloggers, each comments from them encourage & inspire me to do better in my next posts.
After I saw the Mega BM notification in Srivalli Space in july(i think), i was very much hesitant to join, since so far i did only a two week monthly marathon. Hence I was not sure whether I could prepare 26 posts in a month. However I thought that if it's not now, then when? , so after a lot of dilemmas, somehow I got the confidence and joined it.
I thought that I had a whole month(August) ahead of me to prepare at least half of the post, remaining would be managed in September. Then all of sudden, there was a marriage in the family(Hubby's bro) in August. So I was out of town for nearly 20 days in August and did not even enter the kitchen.

So when I started this Mega BM, I didn't have a single post in my draft . So I was really terrified, when my fellow bloggers said that they scheduled most of their posts. So I decided on what to cook on each day and prepared the list.
First week went smoothly , then came another obstacle, there was a sudden official trip in hubby's work for one week, i couldn't stay alone in home for a week, so i was planned to join him and thought of sending a mail that i couldn't continue this BM, even i drafted the mail,but never wanted to give up this chance.
For the second week theme, I have chosen "Indian States" and planned to make three thali recipes ! But with the current situation, i can't make any thalis and removed all the thalis from the list and added some simple dishes and prepared all the six dishes & took photographs within 2 days.

Always best to make your own sprouts...I normally make them too but at times I buy them , it becomes so easy...enjoyed running this marathon with you, lovely dishes, but could not sense a panic in them..they seemed to be done with ease😊
ReplyDeleteCongrats for completing the marathon with us.Yeah I have never guessed any hurry in the posts ,they were always on time.Sprouts looks so fresh and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing the marathon with very little or ahead preparation. I would have gotten a panic attack if I were to do a month long marathon with very minimal preparation.
ReplyDeleteEven I make sprouts at home once in while.
An excellent post for those who pick up ready packets.
ReplyDeleteWow Sandhiya, it never looked like you were in a hurry. I enjoyed all your posts -- so job well done :-) Love that cartoon. Useful post for sprouting moong.
ReplyDeleteCongrats for finishing the marathon, its not easy to do a month of blogging.. Making sprouts at home is quite usual at home.
ReplyDeleteGood one. The cartoon is very apt for me as well. It was wonderful running this marathon with you. Enjoyed all your posts.
ReplyDeleteLoved that cartoon. Congrats and great post for the last day
ReplyDeleteLol on the cartoon. I do agree last minute panic is what we generally do.In the place we live we do not need to tie them up. They just sprout in the sieve.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to that Calvin & Hobbes cartoon. I keep procrastinating somehow when it is a mega marathon and end up cooking when the marathon is happening. I kinda have become expert in not panicking eventhough i am unprepared. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing the marathon successfully.
Calvin is genius
