Masala Sprouts for Breakfast

I am not a good cook....but i love cooking...no matter what will be the end result but i enjoy the process... usually end result is also not that bad :). After creating this blog i considered looking at the wiki page for "Cooking"...what an amazing information source... a  must read.

from wiki:
"Cooking is the process of preparing food with heat."
"Preparing food with heat or fire is an activity unique to humans, and some scientists believe the advent of cooking played an important role in human evolution."
"When heat is used in the preparation of food, it can kill or inactivate potentially harmful organisms including bacteria and viruses."
"Proponents of Raw foodism argue that cooking food increases the risk of some of the detrimental effects on food or health."

hmmm intresting....

Today's recipe is masala sprouts. Sprouts are said to be superb for blood purification and for enhancing you from skin to hair. ..today i made masala sprouts.... will share some other sprout recipes too.  so why wait lets get going honey :)
