Keep sprouts in a muslin cloth or cheesecloth and tie it loosely.
Keep the sprouts bag on the colander and cover it.
Keep it like that for 5 mins. Then switch off the gas and take out the spouts and keep it to cool completely.
Alternatively you can use a steamer also to steam the sprouts.

Prepare Salad

Chop the vegetables. De Seed the tomatoes if there are too many seeds and pulp.
In a mixing bowl, add the vegetables, mango(optional) one by one.
1 small Onion, 1 small Tomato, 1 Cucumber, 2-3 tbsp Green apple (finely chopped pieces), 2-3 tbsp Mango (finely chopped pieces), ¼ Cup Pomegranate Arils, 2 tbsp Chopped Coriander/Cilantro, Juice or 1 Lemon, ½" Fresh Ginger, Green Chilli(optional)

Lightly mix everything.
Chilli it for about 20-30 mins and then serve.

Notes

You can also blanch sprouts. To blanch sprouts boil water, when it comes to roaring boil switch off the gas. Add sprouts and let it be there for about 4-5 mins. then take out and transfer to cold water. Make sure that sprouts don't get very soft. They should have the crunch.

Adding Mango and Green apple is optional.

Skip green chillies when making for kids.

You can serve Sprouts Salad in canapes or shot glasses for your parties and get togethers.
