Separately sprout the moong and lentils for 2-3 days and the sesame and fenugreek for 2 days. Soak the peanuts overnight in double the quantity of water. Drain and rinse. Soak the raisins for ½ an hour in just enough water to cover. Drain and save the soaking water.
Place the sprouted moong, lentils, fenugreek and sesame seeds along with the peanuts, vegetables and raisins in a mixing bowl and mix well. Keep aside.
