You want the moong dhal to become sprouts or you want to take out the sprouts separately from the sprouted dhal.You are confusing.

If you want to make moong dhal sprouts, just soak the desired quantity dhal in water from morning to evening and in the evening drain 80% of the water and keep the moong dhal open with remaining 20% of water.The next day you will find the dhal sprouted beautifully.

Put it in pressure cooker and steam cook it,later very little oil ,little daniya powder ,chilli power ,salt ..saute for sometime then lots of lemon juice on it ,served with finely cut tomatoed ,onions and very finaly chopped cucumber,with coriander leaves on top tastes good.

A small tip reg cooking sprouts. Don`t cook them fully. Their nutritive value is lost. You just toss it in kadai for a little while. Then add the spices. Raw sprouts too taste good. You can have them in salads. You can even make sprout rice.This is general for all sprouts.
