To make the sprouts:-

Wash and soak both the green gram and bengal gram in enough water for overnight.

Clean them again and tie them in a muslin cloth or a clean kerchief.

Keep them in a hanging position for about 8-9 hrs in a dark place.
Sprinkle water in between to keep the cloth damp.
After 8-9 hrs, we can get sprouts..
For longer sprouts,leave it for more hrs by damping the cloth in between...

To make the fry:-

Cook both the grams in water by adding turmeric powder and salt.
Heat oil in a pan/kadhai, add mustard seeds and let it sputter.
Now add red chilli, curry leaves, ginger and onions.
Saute till the onion turns pink and add green chillies, tomatoes and coconut.
Mix properly by adding roasted cumin powder.
Saute for 1min more.
Then add cooked sprouted grams to the above.
Saute for 4-5 min by adding salt if required and garnish with coriander leaves..
Switch off the gas and squeeze the slice of lemon and mix properly...
