With all the ingredients, minced, chopped, boiled – ready with them, the 5 year olds can too make a tasty dish. Believe it or not, they just made yummy sprout bhel – healthy and tasty!
As the bhel got ready to be served the kids were asked whether they remembered the recipe, and to our surprise, each one of them could revise it in the exact sequential order. They stated that they started with a big steel vessel with some sprouts in it. Then they added some chopped tomatoes, boiled and cut potatoes and chopped onions to it and mixed it well using a big spoon. When asked what brought the taste to the bhel, the kids said that they added some salt, chat masala, cumin powder and also squeezed some lemon in it. And when asked about the green-coloured ingredient, they answered it was cilantro which some added as they thought it looked good and some said it smelled great.
This yummy preparation was then served by the teachers in bowls and was topped with shev to make it yummier. Kids promised that they would make it at home too…. Do try it out once!
