Preparation:

1. Heat oil in a pan. (Any cooking oil works, I used coconut oil)
2. Add mustard and curry leaves. Once the mustard pops, add finely chopped onions and green chili and sauté until the onion turns transparent.
3. Add salt, turmeric powder and chili powder and sauté for a min or until the raw smell of the chili powder disappears.
4. Mix the chopped tomatoes now and cook for another 2 mins.
5. Add the sprouts and sprinkle some water. Cover and cook in medium flame until the sprouts are cooked.
6. Serve as a side for rice and any gravy.

Optional: You can use chopped coriander leaves for garnishing once you turn off the flame.
