Sprouted Red Bean Sundal.
Sundal is made with almost all beans and lentils in Tamil homes for Navarathi. Usually beans are soaked the previous night and then cooked and seasoned. Sprouted Red Bean Sundal is a little twist with all the goodness of sprouts~A hearty and healthy sundal for Navarathri.
Sprouts start their life as dry beans and seeds. For germination or 'sprouting' to occur they must be soaked in water, then drained. Once wet, they draw on their stored nutrients and begin to grow. Sprouting increases the nutritional value of seeds and converts starches to sugars, making them easy to digest.
Medicinally and nutritionally, Sprouts have a long history. Ancient Chinese physicians recognised and prescribed Sprouts for curing many disorders as far back as 5,000 years ago.
Adding Sprouts to salads, sandwiches, soups, stir fries and our very own Sundal will make a world of difference to our health. There are many varieties to choose from, with each Sprout having it's own unique flavour and health benefits.

Susan, You can sprout any bean as long as they are dried. If the beans are very very old then I may think twice before using them. Two or even three months in the pantry is ok in Seattle where I live but same may not be the case elsewhere. In hot climate, the worms get inside them.
