3/4 cup moong dal
1 medium tomato, chopped
1/4 small red onion or cucumber, chopped
1/4 to 1/2 cup pitted, peeled, and chopped ripe mango
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (optional)
2 jalapeno chiles, halved, stem and seeds removed, chopped
1 teaspoon chat masala
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon coriander leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Indian pickles, such as ginger, mango, or lemon
Chapati, for serving
Ghee, for serving

Steps:

Place moong dal in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet; add enough water just to cover. Let stand in a warm place until sprouted, about 18 hours.
Drain sprouted moong dal and rinse well. Pick out any moong dal that have not sprouted and discard. Add sprouted moong dal to a large bowl, along with tomato, onion or cucumber, mango, coconut, and chiles. Season with chat masala, salt, coriander leaves, and lemon juice. Toss until well combined.
Serve salad with Indian pickles, chapati, and ghee.
