Please finalise the menu for Tadka as per your palate and compile the shopping list. My recommendation for seven days-
1. Hara dhaniya - 7 small bunches.
2. Pudina - one bunch.
3. Ginger - 250gms.
4. Garlic - one pod.
5. Coconut (giri) - one and dry - one.
6. Lemon - 7.
7. Almond - 28.
8. Walnut - 14.
9. Dates - 21.
10. Magaj + pumpkin seeds - 100gms
11. Sesame seeds - 7 spoons required, 100gms as may be used for fruits and salads too.
12. Ground nut - 500gms.
(THESE ARE JUST A SUGGESTION)

Chutney - choose your day
Hara Dhaniya
Nariyal
Pudina
Palak/available local green
Red Chillies
Garlic
Ginger
These can be the base and add tomato, garlic, ginger, green chillies, fresh lime and blend it. These ingredients are always part of our weekly purchases.
Sprouts
Sprouts add a crunchy flavour to our salad. Best is moong beans sprouts.
So today and tomorrow is the day. If you have whole green moong dal at home do it today or even tomorrow will be fine.
Sprouting is very simple if you don't ask anyone.
1. Take a katori/bowl of moong dal. Roughly one handful is good for a week.
2. On first sight you may feel that one handful is less, this is natural. Don't increase the quantity.
3. Wash it thoroughly and soak it for 24 hours. Change water once after 12 hours.
4. After 24 hours strain the water and store it any container(if perforated available use it) and cover it with a wet cloth.
5. Keep rinsing and straining water as per your convenience every 6-7 hours.
That's it. Within 4-5 days you will have sprouts.
If you smell something odd, rinse and strain is the magic that works.
