Matki Chi Usal (Moth Bean Curry)

Matki Chi Usal

Matki Chi Usal

Matki Chi Usal (Moth Bean Curry) is another popular dish from Maharashtrian cuisine. Matki Chi Usal is very healthy. Matki Chi Usal is spicy and popular recipe. Matki Chi Usal goes well with paratha, roti, rice, very tasty and yummy.

Matki is also call Muth or Moth. It is one of my favorite beans. I used Matki beans to make different kind of curries but I love Matki Chi Usal a lot compare to others. This look like Moong beans but are brown in color and smaller in size. Matki beans are also very healthy because of high source of protein and low in calories. I usually use this to make the quick Misal. You could use same recipe with sprouted moong beans too…

      Sprouting legumes, grains, and seeds makes them much easier to digest by breaking down the anti-nutrients that are common in those foods.

    This looks GREAT. I just bought some moth beans, not sure what to do with them- very excited at the idea of sprouting them! Can’t wait to try.

This coriander-based Green Chutney is very tasty and quick. It can be prepared in few minutes. Mint adds freshness to this Chutney and addition of lemon juice enhances the flavors of mint and coriander and prevent discoloration of the greens. This Chutney is probably the most favorite Indian accompaniment. It is great for sandwich spreads, perfect with Crispy samosas, Dhokla or chaat etc.
