Ingredients
- Mixed sprouts (moong, chana) – 1.5 cups (about 200 g)

- Olive oil – 1 tbsp
- Lemon juice – 1.5 tbsp
- Salt, pepper, chaat masala – to taste
Step-by-step
- Step 1: If sprouts are raw, steam or lightly sauté them for 2–3 minutes and let cool. (If already sprouted and tender, use raw.)

- Step 3: Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, moringa powder, salt, pepper and chaat masala until smooth; pour over salad.
- Step 4: Toss well, sprinkle roasted peanuts on top for crunch and extra protein. Serve immediately.
Pro tips
- Lightly toss sprouts on high heat for a minute to remove raw taste while keeping crunch.
- Add boiled quinoa or paneer cubes to increase protein further.
- Use fresh moringa leaves (blanched) if available for texture variation.
