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. It is very healthy and delicious curry dish. This Usal is spicy, but very tasty and yummy, goes well with paratha, roti, rice.

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.
