Mung bean sprouts raita is a tasty & healthy protein-rich vegetarian side dish from India. Made with yogurt and mung bean sprouts it's a healthy summer treat.

As mentioned in previous posts also, both Amit and I, prefer carrying home-cooked food to work.

Staying in Dubai where most of the days are extremely hot, I always try to pack some side dish made of yogurt or laban, for lunch. Being Indian, most of the time our lunch comprises of Indian dishes so I pack raita as a side dish as it goes well with almost every Indian recipe and you can bring so many variations in this recipe that you don’t get bored of it. Some of my favorite raita recipes are aloo ka raita and pahadi raita.

Since mornings are generally very busy and it's not possible to make too many dishes, I keep on searching or inventing raita recipes where you don’t need to do much cutting and chopping.

One such instant raita recipe is mung bean sprouts raita. It’s a very nutritious recipe and a good source of protein for vegetarians. The vegans can also make it using vegan yogurt. The best thing about this recipe is that it gets ready within 2 minutes. You can also enjoy it as a quick and refreshing summer snack.

To make this raita, you can use the store brought sprouts or very easily make it at home. I use sprouts in a lot of dishes so you will always find a large box of sprouts stored in my fridge. Soaking mung bean for making sprouts, every Friday night, is in my weekly routine.

If you are on a weight-loss mission and looking for healthy recipes then this is a must-try recipe.
