Notes
- Reduce or omit green chili and red chili powder to make the salad milder in spice.
- Raw sprouted mung beans provide crunch; for a softer texture, steam or blanch the sprouts briefly before mixing.
- Variations can include adding boiled potatoes, raw mango, or swapping sprouted mung beans with chickpeas, black chickpeas, kidney beans, or other sprouted legumes.
