My Rescuer Ingredients:-
1. Sprouts :- Very healthy and helpful ingredient in any pantry. I usually make sprouts with two legumes, with black chana, green moong Daal. After sprouting them I store them in airtight container and put in fridge (not freezer).
I make moong daal and when it is about to finish i soak chana daal make sprouts. This way they are always in my reach.
Moong Daal Sprouts- They are very quick to cook. Sometimes i just crush them and mix with boiled potato and make tikkies for chat/burgers, steam for 5 min, add your favorite masala and chat/salad is ready, or just temper with cumin seeds, onion tomato and side dish is ready within 15 min . So ideas are endless. Add anything in it. It will never disappoint you.
Durability- They remain fresh for 3-4 days if kept in airtight container in fridge.

Chana Daal Sprouts- Flooded with nutrition these sprouts are so so healthy. After Sprouting them you can keep them in hot boiled water for 3-4 hours and then drain them and after removing all water store them in airtight container. Make chat, side dish, crush a bit,mix boiled potato and form tikkies. So healthy and nutritive. isn't it.
Durability- If keeping them without soaking in boiled water then shelf life is long(3-4 days). After soaking in hot water use within 2 days.

2. Soya Chunks:- My favorite chunks, a very good source of protein. They are so handy that i can't tell you. My kids love them so i make them very often. But if sudently some guests arrive and you need something to cook Use these chunks to make side dish or main dish. It will hardly take 15-20 min as after soaking in hot water for few minutes you need hardly 5-10 min to cook them. They are always have their own space in my kitchen.You can make pulav, side dish, pulse them and make tikkies with them. Check my recipe.

Notes:-
- I know eating fresh stuff is always healthy. but as working women i need always something handy for sudden situations. So i started storing them. Just ignore if you don't feel healthy.
- After keeping black chana sprouts in hot water, shelf life become less. So use them as soon as possible. Inspite of boiling them i use this method to lessen my cooking time. Its really useful for me. Ignore if you don't like.
- After keeping the black chana in hot water don't throw that water, use for making dough or gravies.
