Notes

Sprouting converts the complex nutrients stored in the seeds into a form that can be easily digested.
The inactive enzymes present in the seeds also become active after sprouting thereby enabling easier absorption.
Sesame seeds contain abundance of vitamin B6, thiamine, and niacin among vitamins, and calcium, copper, magnesium, iron, and phosphorus among minerals.
Adding variety of vegetables makes it rich in fibre.
Moringa chutney gives the punch of protein, iron, vitamin B6 and antioxidants. (moringa chutney: https://www.lukecoutinho.com/download/Moringa-chutney.pdf)
Enjoy the monsoon with a complete healthy delicacy that satisfies the taste buds.
