Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup kala chana/dark Chickpea
  • 1 paper towel
  • Colander

Instructions
 

  • Soak 1 cup kala Chana for 12 hours.
  • Rinse and put fresh water and soak again for 12 hours(Total of 24 hours)
  • Rinse,drain and place in a colander.
  • Cover with a wet paper towel and place a plate under colander to catch any drips.
  • Put in a dark place(I use my oven),undisturbed for 24-36 hours(I kept it for 36 hours)
  • Rinse and enjoy your sprouted chana.

Notes

It took me 36 hours to get the chana to sprout. In warmer/ humid climates it will sprout sooner. Please start checking after 24 hours. You can cook the sprouted kala chana/Black chickpea if you don't want to consume them raw.
