Notes

Based on the texture of sprouted beans you like, adjust water and cooking time. For a firm sprouted bean, cook for 10 minutes and use ½ cup of water.
To make it more flavorful and nutritious, you can add green peas, carrots, beans, capsicum or bell peppers, and tomatoes as well.
If you want a creamy texture for sprouted beans, then pressure cook for 1 whistle.
