Sprouted Moong Methi Pulav - using broken wheat

I tried this combination for the first time. Well as I have pointed out earlier I have decided to include sprouts in my menu. So this time I tried a different combination and it turned out to be fabulous. Even H who doesn't like both methi and broken wheat gave me a thumbs-up. That made my day.

This would be a ideal dish for diabetic patients also. Broken wheat and methi leaves are a good combination for curing diabetics.
