Ingredients Serving: 5

Moong sprouts 2 cups
Leftover rice 4-5 cups
Salt 1 1/2 tbsp
Red chilli flakes 1 tbsp
Green chillies slit 3
Dry red chillies 3
Bay leaves 2
Ghee 2-3 tbsp
Curry leaves 10
Onions sliced 2
Black Mustard seeds 1 tsp
Garam masala 1 tsp
Cumin seeds 1 tsp
Cinnamon stick 1
Garlic mince 2 tsp

Instructions

In a pan, heat ghee and add dry red chillies along with mustard and cumin seeds. Let them crackle a bit before adding garlic mince, curry leaves, bay leaves and cinnamon stick.
Saute sliced onions now with ginger garlic mince until translucent. The raw smell of the onions should fade away before adding red chilli flakes and slit green chillies. You can add spices according to your choice.
Finally add the sprouts and stir gently to mix all. Cover and cook just for about 7-8 minutes. Do not cook more than that. The crunch should be retained. And sprouts need not be cooked for a long time. A simple stir fry is more than enough.
Lastly stir in the cooked rice and adjust salt at this point. Mix well and cover.
Do it with very light hands without much pressure. Sprinkle garam masala for that lovely aroma.
Simmer until ready to serve so that it gets heated up really well since we are using leftover rice here.
Serve this piping hot flavourful pulao with ghee, pickle and any gravy of choice.
