Household measures sit under each item.

1 cup sprouted moong 1 katori
1 small onion, chopped fine
1 tomato, chopped fine
½ cucumber, chopped fine
1 tsp chaat masala
½ lemon, juiced
1 handful coriander leaves

Method

Toss with onion, tomato, cucumber, chaat masala and lemon.
Finish with coriander and serve straight away.

Why this works

This is the evening-hunger answer that keeps dinner intact: satisfying enough to hold you, light enough not to replace the meal.

Notes & swaps

Add pomegranate for colour and crunch when the fruit bowl allows.
Steaming matters for younger children and sensitive stomachs — raw sprouts can sit heavy.
