Sprouted Methi Seeds Rasam

As i do with the dry legumes, i usually sprout the fenugreek seeds, horsegrams and sometimes channa as large quantities and freeze them in plastic boxes so that i can use them whenever i need for.. These sprouted veggies are quite handy to try out any gravies or as side dishes anytime... I have a bag of sprouted fenugreek seeds still in my freezer and here is one of my trial with sprouted fenugreek seeds as rasam...Todays its too snowy and we felt like having simple and something comforting, so i prepared everything to make out rasam with tomatoes and my mind as usual, thought of making out something different as rasam with some frozen sprouted fenugreek seeds..Once i tempered the seeds and dry red chillies, i have sauteed the sprouted fenugreek seeds until they turns soft and added the uncooked rasam water which i prepared with tomatoes, the tanginess of the tomatoes dominated the bitterness of these fenugreek seeds and we loved having this healthy, delicious tangy rasam with some simple potato fries, this rasam is quite healthy for diabetic peoples as fenugreek seeds are well recommanded to diabetic peoples coz of their health values..Needless to say that these rasam goes directly to  my own event CWS-Fenugreek Seeds guest hosted by SE of Denufood for this month and to Yasmeen's Bitter Better Foods..
