Sprout Kabab/Sprout Tikki Chat

Before I start with my new recipe....something important about Bean sprouts....

Bean Sprouts are one of the most concentrated natural sources of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, trace elements, amino-acids and proteins on Earth.In addition to being super nutritious, sprouts are one of the most versatile foods in your kitchen. Sprouts can be the main ingredient or a garnish. Sprouts are a great snack - just fill a bowl, have a seat, and start munching. Sprouts - like all vegetables, are much more nutritious when raw. Some people think it is wrong to cook sprouts, but we think all that really matters is that you eat More Sprouts, and if you prefer them cooked then cook them! Sure raw is better, but any sprouts are way better than none, so eat as you wish, cook 'em or don't.......

Now coming back to my recipe; I had prepared Chana kababs before but I did not have photographs to put on the blog. So I decided to prepare them again.But this time I used all the available bean sporuts. By the time I finished frying the kababs; I thought why not turn them into the healthy tikki chat.
