The following grains can be sprouted RagiGreen GramBlack GramChickpeasCowpeasJowarHorsegramWheatCorn Steps 1. Rinse all the ingredients separately to remove debris or stones. 2. Soak them in water overnight or atleast 8 hours. 3. Drain and rinse all the grains separately. 4. The grains can be tied in a soft cotton cloth like below and place the individual bundles in a tray in a dry place. 5. After 8 to 10 hours you can see small sprouts from the grains. If you want longer sprouts they can be left for a longer period. Sprouted Grains like Ragi will be moist and little bit sticky to touch, you don’t have to be worried about it. If you detect a putrid smell or very sticky and greasy texture of the sprouted grains, it is better to discard them. Please Note – Sprouting depends upon the climatic conditions and also on the type of grain, some may take longer than others. Safety Precaution for sprouting the Grains The SafetyFood.org and FDA cautions that ” Seeds and beans need warm and humid climate to sprout, these conditions are also ideal for the growth of bacteria like Salmonella, Listeria and Ecoli “. To reduce this risk, FDA advices cooking the sprouts thoroughly before consumption, in this recipe we are roasting the sprouted ingredients thoroughly to prevent risk of infection. Drying the Sprouted Ingredients. Dry the Sprouted ingredients in sun for a day. Roasting the Ingredients 1. After drying the sprouted grains, each should be dry roasted well separately. 2. The other ingredients like dry fruits, sago, fried gram, Ajwain to be dry roasted individually. 3. Cool all the ingredients. Making the Powder After all the ingredients have been roasted, with dry ginger it can be powdered in a Power Mill, as unlike the easy sathumaavu mix, they cannot be powdered at home.
