Black Gram Sprouts

by Manjit Handa, PhD
Protein Power House Ingredients
1 cup black gram
1 table spoon olive oil
I tea spoon cumin seeds
1/2 tea spoon turmeric powder
1/2 tea spoon black pepper
2 spring onions, diced
1 tomato, diced
Salt, as per taste

For sprouting, soak the one cup black gram in sufficient water overnight. Next morning, drain and loosely tie them (so that there is space to sprout) in a muslin cloth and hang in an airy space. Keep sprinkling water on the cloth just when you see it has dried out completely. Usually by the third day, the sprouts would have appeared. When the desired sprouting has taken place, you are ready to enjoy it. Heat olive oil in a pan and add cumin seeds and the spring onion. When the onion is tender, add turmeric, salt, tomato, black pepper and the sprouts and mix thoroughly. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes. Use it as a side dish or salad for lunch or dinner. [HQ]

Good Morning Parmjit
I apologize for taking so long in contacting you.  I wanted to let you know that the evaluations sheets we handed out after you did the session for our Divisional Day (way back in October) were all excellent.  Every single staff person who attended your session was very pleased with it. They all found it very relaxing and said that they would enjoy a further session and recommend you to other departments who were having a department day similar to the one you presented your session at.

Also, I should mention that you may in the very near future hear from one of my co-workers asking you to do a session for our individual team. She is working on the logistics with our manager to see what we can do about having you come to one of our
meetings.

Once again, I want to thank you for the wonderful session you did for us and wish you the best in 2009.
