Healthy sprouts salad recipe

Ingredients: 
Sprouted grains (of your choice) - 1 cup (Here I have taken half cup each of green gram and black chick peas)
Tomato - 1 chopped finely
Green chilli - 1 
Carrot - half cup grated
Onion - 1 small, chopped finely
Lemon juice - few drops
Chopped coriander
Salt / Black Salt - as per taste

Procedure:
1. Wash and soak the grains overnight. Drain all the water in the morning and tie them in a clean kitchen cloth or muslin cloth. After 1 day you can see small sprouts appearing through the cloth. If you want longer sprouts you can keep for one more day. 
2. Another method of sprouting is to just keep the grains in a covered container may be a plastic box (if you don't want to tie in cloth) after discarding water in the morning. This method might take a bit longer time than the previous one.
3. Once the sprouted grains are ready, cut other vegetables, chillies and onion. 
4. Mix everything in a bowl. Add lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves. Serve!

Wearing a Saree in Mumtaz style
How to wear a saree in Mumtaz styleThe Mumtaz style was popularized by the charming film star, Bollywood diva of yesteryear Mumtaz. This style of saree draping involves draping the saree tightly around your lower body several times to give it a narrow look that accentuates your figure. Though not a very comfortable saree draping style in terms of ease of walk, it truly is one timeless beauty. 

Step-by-step instructions to drape a saree in Mumtaz style

1. Tuck one end of the saree at the waist, complete one round from right side just like in all other saree draping styles
2. Make 2-3 pleats and tuck them at the center facing left.
3. Take rest of the saree towards left and bring it around in the front and tuck it 4-5 inch above the full length of the saree.
4. Repeat the process. i.e wrap one more time and tuck it 4-5 inch above the previous layer, so that you can now see three layers of borders (if it is a border saree).
5. Make small pleats from the left out portion and secure them at the left shoulder. Usually the pleats are very narrow revealing the midriff. (Alternately, you can also just gather the pallu and fling back)
6. Keep the length of the pallu just above the hip level for a perfect look.
