Get-to :: Healthy & Tasty Salad

Its summer and the scortching heat in Chennai has no way spoilt the holiday mood of the school-goers of our cousin families. After lot of plan changes,we tried to host a little less than 2 dozen people in our house to have quality family bonding time with my BIL who had come down from the US. We had lot of dishes as part of the pot-luck menu! The food item which very much appealed everyone was a different type of salad/chat !! Here goes the rough receipe- add more to this as per your imagination. If you have the patience, try to sprout beforehand green moong dhal, black channa. Slightly boil - moong dhal, black channa, green gram, sweet korn kernels, groundnuts and drain the excess water and allow to cool. Slightly cook macoroni and steam potatoes as well. In a big bowl, add little oil, red chilly powder(as per spice), salt , lemon juice and mix the seasoning well.Chop different colors of capsicum, onion(optional), cucumber(optional),tomato, pineapple(optional), pomegranate(optional). Add the chopped vegetables,macoroni, cooked potatoes and the sprouted dhals into the bowl and mix well. Tasty healthy chat is ready! Instead if you dont have the time just like my SIL, buy all sprouts from any big supermarket and prepare readily.
