To make sprouted lentils
- soak for 4 to 8 hours (over night) in water
- drain water, and every 4 to 8 hours wash the lentils again
- after a few days the roots will start. It is complete when it appears as if most of the lentils have roots coming out (about 1/2 inch)
This works well with tamarind paste and a bit of jaggery or chopped dates.
