Sprouted Green Gram And Vegetable Stew

You may be wondering why I have made sprouted green gram as the main ingredient in most of the dishes I eat . Well, there is a real story .

I am a known diabetic for over 15 years and was advised by my neighbour doctor couple Dr.Udit and Dr.Monica to take sprouted cereals if I want to control my blood sugar without the usual insulin shots and with minimum medication.

I sincerely followed their advise and started taking sprouted cereals. I have stopped taking insulin and take minimum tablets once in the evening . Sprouted Cereals did work wonders. My daughter who wanted to shed extra weight switched over to eating dishes made out of sprouted green gram and in a matter of month she has dropped about 5 Kg.

My wife could not bear to see me eating the plain green stuff and started concocting variety of dishes with sprouted cereals and I relished them all. Sprouted Green Gram and Vegetable Stew is my staple breakfast item
