Matki is one of my favorite beans. These lentils are high sources of proteins. Its usal can be enjoyed at any time of the day. A lightly flavored one for morning breakfast topped with grated coconut, for lunch, as an evening snack converted to a Sprouts Dahi Misal .
Ingredients:-
2 cups Matki sprouts (Moth Beans)
1 Onion chopped
1 Tomato chopped /pureed (optional)
1-2 tsp Garlic Ginger paste
½ tsp Chili powder
½ tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Maharashtrian Goda Masala (kala masala)
½ tsp cumin powder
½ tsp coriander powder
3 tsp Cilantro chopped
3 tbsp Oil
Salt to taste
Method:-
Wash and soak matki for 5-6 hrs.
Drain water and put in thin wet cloth for sprouting. [This process might take 1-2 days]
Sprouted Matki Put sprouted matki in cooker and cook for 1 whistle (if cooked more, it will become mushy!)
Heat oil in a pan.
