Guilt-free Sev Puri recipe

Ingredients:

2 cups fresh curd, made from toned milk (3.5% fat)

25 slices of cucumber, approximately 0.5 cm in thickness

1 cup moong sprouts or 1/3 cup uncooked green moong (soak for 6 – 8 hours, drain and keep covered for another 12 hours)

1 small onion, chopped finely

1 green chilli, chopped finely

2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped finely

½ tsp chaat masala

1 tsp powdered sugar

½ tsp jeera powder (cumin powder)

¼ tsp black pepper powder

Salt as per taste

Method:

Hang the curd in a muslin cloth for half an hour to drain excess water and give it a thicker consistency. While that is happening, boil 300 ml of water and add ½ tsp of salt to it. Pour in moong sprouts to the water and remove the pan from heat and cover it. Drain the sprouts after 20 minutes. Keep them on the side and let them come to the room temperature.

Remove the curd and transfer it to a bowl. To this, add the sprouts, onion, fresh coriander, green chilli, sugar, pepper along with the salt and mix nicely.

For the final step, lay the slices of cucumber on a serving dish. Apply spoonful of the curd mix on the slices and garnish it with chaat masala, jeera powder and fresh coriander. Serve immediately.
