Instructions:

1. So let's start making sprouts for this I have ½ cup Moong lentils and ½ cup Grams. Now first wash lentils and grams thoroughly in water. I have washed them 2-3 times just to make sure they are cleaned properly. Also, make sure to remove any unwanted impurities like hard stones. Now completely fill the lentils container with water, I usually use it at least three times water. Do the same with grams. Now let them soak for 6-8 hours.

2. Now it's been 8 hours and you can see their size has increased a little, now drain all water and again wash them properly. If you want you can also use a colander to drain water, it's a little bit easier this way. Similarly, wash and drain all water from grams.

3. Once we have drained all water, let’s see how to grow sprouts. I will show you three ways. First is very simple, just put the lentils in a bowl and cover it with a lid but don’t close it too tightly. Just leave some space for air to pass through the bowl. 

4. The second way is to take a damp and clean cotton napkin or kitchen towel. Now put all grams in it and make a knot like this or you can use a rubber band to close it. Now leave it like this in a bowl.

5. The third way is to take a damp and clean kitchen towel or napkin, now cover the bowl with it like this, or use a rubber band to close it.

6. The most important thing to grow perfect sprouts is to place the bowl in a warm place for 12-14 hrs because the sprouts grow in a humid environment. The second thing is to keep sprinkling some water over them to keep them wet but doesn’t mix or disturb them.

7. After 12 hrs let's check them, you can see little sprouts have sprung up in lentils, now let's open gram inside kitchen towel, you can notice they too have got little sprouts. In cold places, it can take even more than 24 hours to grow sprouts of this much size. Now transfer them again in a bowl and wash them properly and again cover them and place in warm area as we did earlier. We washed them again in freshwater to avoid any bacteria growth. It will take at least 24 more hours to sprout them fully. Just make sure to keep the washing and draining them every 12 hrs.

8. After 24 hours let's check them again, you can see lentils have sprouted so well, now let's open grams, they have also sprouted very well. So now they are ready. In total it took around 2 ½ days to sprout fully like this
