Notes

If you like to use sprouted green gram soak the green gram in water for about 6 hours. once they have swelled up well, drain and warp them in cheesecloth and place them in a box and close the lid. keep in a cool dark place in the kitchen, but not a cold side. The green gram will sprout overnight. you can use this or wait for another 8 hours so the sprout grows longer and then grind it.
