Sprouted Matki or Moth Beans Salad. I simply love this salad because it makes raw mango and carrots so delightful to eat and the roasted peanut gives a nice crunch. Its always my favorite for lunch or during afternoon tea time. This is our version of slaw with steamed sprouts. Always a hit at any party!!!
