Curried Sprouted Mung Beans

This is one of my absolute favorite dishes to make!   You just got to try this!

Curried Sprouted Mung Beans!  Yummy!  I put a dollop of yogurt on mine and had a garden salad on the side with lemon and yogurt dressing.  I wasn't sure of the measurements for some of the ingredients...so I just threw in about a teaspoon or 2 and lots of sesame seeds!
