Add the sprouted moong, chilli powder, garam masala, salt and 1 cup of water and mix well. Cover with a lid and cook on a medium flame for 10 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and keep aside

How to proceed

Pour ¼ cup of the tomato gravy evenly all over the plate.
Place a portion of the moong mixture on one side of the plate.
Place ½ of the vegetable mixture on the other side of the plate.
Place 4 cutlets in the centre of the plate and finally pour the remaining ¼ cup of the tomato gravy evenly over it.
