Note:

> I added jaggery in the end and it is optional only. if you really like spicy rasam then don't add it.

> usually I divided the rasam separately into two bowls. one is for my kid which is no spicy

> And another one is for us, so we will add pepper powder at the end of the process.

> Horse gram contains lot of nutrients and its really good for kids.

> It is really good for the skin, kidney, and liver.

> sprouting is an interesting process and does it whenever you are getting time.

> Once it's sprouted and if you find no time to cook just keep it in the fridge for one or two days.

> Normally 2 to 3 whistles are enough for freshly sprouted horse gram but if you keep it in the fridge then leave it for 5 whistles.
